This lullabye has been on sabbaticle in recent years, but we have used it to tune ourselves up, woo audiences, and, yes, even to put newborn infants to sleep. It even worked!

Known to the choir members as White Bird Cherry, this is one of the more tender, fragile pieces we sing. Starting in unison, the individual breaks into harmony build this song to a tender four part harmony.

This is a favorite of the choirs. It tells the story of a wise old mountain, upon whom a playful young cloud stops to rest for a while. The cloud eventually leaves, but the old mountain cannot wipe the memory of the wonderful cloud away...quietly, he cries to himself.

This is one of the English songs we sing. The poem it was based upon was written by Robert Burns, and was also the inspiration for the title and climax of the book The Catcher in the Rye. The arranger of our version is Harry Simeone.

This song, sung in russian, is a crowd favorite. The choir sings background, supporting the soprano solo throughout the song. Usually, this solo is sung by Yana Reko.

This song is sung in Latin. It starts gently, adding one harmony line at a time. It is an old hymn, writen in the late 16th century by Giovanni Gabrieli.

This is a very well known song, to Russians and Americans alike. Traditionally sung in a rather dramatic ballad style, we bring a slightly more jazzy feel to this classic piece.
