Composed by Eric Whitacre

The Eight Chestnut Horses
Composed by Se Enkhbayar

Mongolian songs often praise horses, real and legendary, reflecting the close relationship between horses and humans. A 13^th century chronicle refers to the eight chestnut horses of Genghis Khan, and they have thus become a symbol of national identity which embodies the Mongolian people’s love for their native language and culture. Indigenous Mongolian musical rhythms are often patterned after the rhythm of a running horse. Such rhythms represent one of the major ethnic features of Mongolian music, and can be found throughout the piece.

Hacia Belén Va Un Borrico
Arranged by Shaw/Parker

The excellent duo of Robert Shaw and Alice Parker once again has given the choral world a superb arrangement. The animal, here a donkey, is part of the Christmas tradition in Spain.

Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel?
Arranged by Moses Hogan

The gifted Moses Hogan has set this traditional spiritual in a fresh, vibrant manner.

O Lord God
Composed by Paul Tschesnokoff

A Russian composer who devoted himself exclusively to choral composition, both secular and sacred, Tschesnokoff embodies the traditional rich harmonic structure and use of the low bass. He is best known for his composition SALVATION IS CREATED. O LORD GOD has endeared itself to Nordic Choir as its closing selection for over 50 years. “I will sing to the Lord as Long as I live!”

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Arranged by Gilbert Martin

Gilbert Martin, a contemporary American composer, has given us this unique harmonic setting of a familiar hymn.

Excerpts from “Requiem”
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

• Introit
• Kyrie
• Dies Irae
• Rex tremendae
• Confutatis
• Lacrymosa
• Hostias
• Sanctus

“Mozart’s REQUIEM—the composer’s last and unfinished work—was commissioned by Count Franz von Wallsegg, who wished to have it performed in memory of his departed wife as his own composition. In order not to forfeit the handsome commission fee, Mozart’s widow Constanze decided to have the work completed in secrecy, so that the finished version could be presented as her husband’s final effort. The REQUIEM is known to the general public in the version undertaken immediately after Mozart’s death by his assistant by his assistant Franz Xavier Sussmayr.”—Robert D. Levin.
