CANTUS: I Would Live In Your Love by Christopher H. Harris

cantussings 2024-10-15 | This video was recorded live at Meethinghouse Church in Edina, MN on October 10th.

Poetry by Sara Teasdale:

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul as it leads.

Two Mountain Songs - Gabriela Lena Frank
II. Picaflor Esmeralda (Emerald Hummingbird)

Picaflor Esmeralda,
oculta tus alas doradas.
(..él de las alas de oro…)
Picaflor,
no me atajes.
Cual paloma que ha perdido a su polluelo,
o, me están llamando,
me están buscando:
Mi madre, mi padre, mis padres!

O qué tanto me preguntas:
De dónde vengo, y de dónde soy.
(..él que ha vuelto tan alto…)
Mira esa montaña:
Alli naci,
entre flores,
O me están llamando,
me están buscando:
Mi madre, mi padre, mis padres!

El fuego que he prendido,
el fuego que encendi en la montaña,
en la cumbre,
estará llameando, estará ardiendo.

Mira si aún llamea,
si quema la montaña
en la cumbre.
Y si hay mucho fuego,
o, anda, Picaflor Esmeralda.
O me están llamando,
me están buscando:
Mi madre, mi padre, mis padres!

El fuego que he prendido,
el fuego que encendi en la montaña,
en la cumbre,
estará llameando, estará ardiendo.

Picaflor…
él que vuela más alto…
Esmeralda…
él que brilla y brilla…
quiero darte un encargado
quiero darte una misión:
Lléva esta carta a mis padres.

No sé si llororán todavia
(llora tambien)
cuando lean mi nombre
o me habrán olvidado
y ya no llorarán todavia.

El fuego que he prendido,
el fuego que encendi en la montaña,
en la cumbre,
estará llameando, estará ardiendo.

Mira si aún llamea…
Anda, Picaflor!
Mi madre, mi padre, mis padres!

O, Picaflor!

Emerald Hummingbird… Oh!
One that flies the highest,
one of the golden plumes,
one that shines
in the sun, in the air…
Hummingbird!
I want to give you a charge.

Emerald Hummingbird,
hide your golden wings.
(one of the golden wings…)
Hummingbird,
do not keep me.
Like the dove that has lost its young,
oh, they are calling me,
they are looking for me:
My mother, my father, my parents!

Oh, how much you question me:
From where do I come, from where am I.
(one that has flown so high…)
Look at that mountain:
There I was born,
among flowers,
Oh, they are calling me,
they are looking for me:
My mother, my father, my parents!

That fire that I’ve started,
that I lit on the mountain,
at the summit,
must be blazing, must be burning,

Look if there still blazes
if the mountain still burns
at the summit.
And if there is much fire,
oh, get along, Emerald Hummingbird!
Oh, they are calling me,
they are looking for me:
My mother, my father, my parents!

That fire that I’ve started,
that I lit on the mountain,
at the summit,
must be blazing, must be burning,

Hummingbird…
one that flies the highest,
Emerald…
one that shines and shines.
I want to give you a charge
I want to give you a mission:
Carry this letter to my parents.

I do not know if they will weep
(I weep, too)
when the read my name
of if they will have forgotten me
and now will not cry.

That fire that I’ve started,
that I lit on the mountain,
at the summit,
must be blazing, must be burning,

Look if there still burns,
Get along, Hummingbird!
My mother, my father, my parents!

Oh, Hummingbird!

LYRICS
Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae
et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.

Maria dixit:
Ecce ancilla Domini
Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.

Et verbum caro factum est
Et habitavit in nobis.

Sancta Maria, mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus.
Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

TRANSLATION
The Angel of the Lord announced to Mary
And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Behold the handmaiden of the Lord.
Do to me according to your word.

And the Word was made flesh
And dwelt among us.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Resent the wind

It’s for her
No matter how much I earn, it’s not enough

CANTUS: Thankful Heart by Paul Williams

cantussings 2023-12-25 | Recorded live at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis on December 9, 2023.

Thankful Heart by Paul Williams

"It’s the season to be jolly and joyous,
With a burst of pleasure, we feel it arrive.
It’s the season when the saints can employ us,
To spread the news about peace and to keep love alive.

With a thankful heart, with an endless joy,
With a growing family, every girl and boy
Will be nephew and niece to me,
Will bring love, hope and peace to me.
Yes and every night will end, and every day will start
With a grateful prayer and a thankful heart.

With an open smile and with open doors,
I will bid you welcome, what is mine is yours.
With a glass raised to toast your health,
And a promise to share the wealth.
I will sail a friendly course, file a friendly chart,
On a sea of love and a thankful heart.

Life is like a journey, who knows when it ends?
Yes and if you need to know the measure of a man,
You simply count his friends.

Stop and look around you. The glory that you see
Is born again each day, don't let it slip away.
How precious life can be!

With a thankful heart that is wide awake
I do make this promise: every breath I take
Will be used now to sing your praise,
And to beg you to share my days.
With a loving guarantee that even if we part,
I will hold you close in a thankful heart.
I will hold you close in a thankful heart."

CANTUS: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Hugh Martin arr. Stacey V. Gibbs

cantussings 2023-12-22 | Recorded live at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis on December 9, 2023.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
Music by Hugh Martin (1914-2011); arr. Stacey V. Gibbs (b. 1962)
Text by Ralph Blane (1914-1995) and Stacey V. Gibbs

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Once again, as in olden days
Happy days of yore
There we’ll find faithful friends who are dear to us
Who gather near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
Oh, have yourself a merry little Christmas now

We wish you happiness all season long
As we send you glad tidings in this special song.
May your heart be filled with laughter
And cheer and love the whole year long.

CANTUS: Stray Birds & I Am Like You / We Are All Sons by Craig Hella Johnson

cantussings 2023-10-26 | Selections from Considering Matthew Shepard recorded live at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis on October 13, 2023 with the Minnesota Boychoir.

CONSIDERING MATTHEW SHEPARD
Craig Hella Johnson (b. 1962)

Passion: No. 14 - Stray Birds
Text by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn which have no songs flutter and fall there with a sigh.
Once we dreamt that we were strangers.
We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.

Passion: No. 16 - I Am Like You / We Are All Sons
Text by Craig Hella Johnson & Michael Dennis Browne (b. 1940)

I am like you
Aaron and Russell
When I think of you
(and honestly I don't like to think about you)
but sometimes I do,
I am so horrified,
and just so angry and confused (and scared)
that you could do things to another boy-
they were so cruel and so undeserved,
so dark and hard and full of (I don't know)

Late one night I had a glimpse
of something I recognized, just a tiny glimpse
I don't even like to say this out loud,
it isn't even all that true-
but I wondered for a moment,
am I like you? (in any way)
Am I like you? (I pray the answer is no)

I bet you once
had hopes and dreams, too.
Some things we love get lost along the way,
That's just like me--get lost along the way—

I am like you,
I get confused and I'm afraid
and I've been reckless, I've been restless,
bored, unthinking, listless, intoxicated,
I've come unhinged, and made mistakes
and hurt people very much.

Sometimes I feel
(in springtime, in early afternoon)
the sunshine warm on my face;
you feel this too (don't you?),
the sunshine warm on your face.
I am like you (this troubles me)
I am like you (just needed to say this)
Some things we love
get lost along the way.

we are all sons of fathers and mothers we are all sons
we are all rivers, the roar of waters we are all sons
sometimes no home for us here on the earth
no place to lay our heads
we are all sons of fathers and mothers we are all sons

if you could know for one moment
how it is to live in our bodies within the world
if you could know
you ask too much of us
you ask too little

Protocol II. The Men Who Wore Lions by Griffin Candey

cantussings 2023-10-25 | Recorded live at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis on October 13, 2023.

PROTOCOL
Griffin Candey

2. The Men Who Wore Lions
Text by Kaveh Akbar

Over the men's heads, a bird spoke:
The sun is in the mountains; above it is the moon.
The thing you hoped might save you had better save you soon.
The men stood, staring at the sky
like desperate plants.
Courage: a long shadow
scattered over the horizon
like salt tossed over a shoulder.
Over their shoulders, the men wore lions. They wore lions like men wearing lions.
Mane blended into beard, making the men glow with mannish light.
The men approached the mountain that had sunshine seeping out its cracks.
When they got close enough, the mountainlight illuminated each man's face.
Terrible light.
Inside the core of the sun
inside the core of the mountain was a single white plant, six fists high, with its roots growing straight up in the air.
The men never found it.
The men could only see themselves.

CANTUS: grip by Scott Senko

cantussings 2023-10-20 | Recorded live at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis on October 13, 2023.

Music by Scott Senko (b. 1992)
Text by Levi Todd

“grip (v.)”

Old English grippan “to grip, seize, obtain “ (class I strong verb; past tense grap, past participle gripen), from West Germanic *greipanan (source also of Old High German gripfen “to rob,” Old English gripan “to seize;” see gripe (v.)).

knowing that this is likely the one time ever
that me and a new strange man who I do not wish to befriend or belove will touch
I feel a certain guilt
when the inevitable failure happens
the potential intimacy dropped
and floundering on the floor
like a gilled thing
i rack my brain for the index of handshakes tattered and fading
my fingers slipping through holes
this unspoken treaty requires
we both read each other
estimate what kind of men we are
if at all
whether to extend hands and tersely shake
distance kept or rather to clasp palms
wound against the thumbs
and slip into fingertips or perhaps
just clap and bump knuckles
i’m telling you
they want to know whether i am one of them
and what kind
which ranks i march with
whose allegiance i pledge
and i have no answer
the proof is in the fumble
still i would like to give this moment
the chance it deserves
we could make it work i think
i think we could
but there are so many options
and knowing which one to pick
like the rosiest apple from the bushel
would require me to get to know them
enough to do this a second time

CANTUS: Hawaii Aloha by Lorenzo Lyons and James McGranahan

cantussings 2023-09-11 | Statement from Cantus baritone, Jeremy Wong:

"Being born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, I’ve been trying to think of the right words to accurately capture my feelings around the unbelievable wildfires that swept through Lahaina, Maui. Thankfully, all of my family are on a different island, and my friends who come from Maui tell me that their families are all safe, but the magnitude of the disaster and immense loss of life in my home state has weighed heavily on my mind for the past couple of weeks.

Though I know that the recovery will take many months, I am heartened and encouraged by stories of the local community who helped each other out in the immediate aftermath, before any large-scale efforts had been mounted. In the spirit of standing in solidarity with the people of Hawai’i, we offer a recording of “Hawai’i Aloha,” which is a song that everyone in Hawai’i learns and sings at some point in their life. Typically sung in a circle with joined hands, the song tells of the joy and pride we feel in our homeland of Hawai’i.

In an effort to help give aid to the recovery efforts, the artists and staff of Cantus hope you will join us in pledging financial support to the Maui Strong Fund, the Maui Food Bank, or the Hawai’i People’s Fund."

CANTUS: Youre a Mean One, Mr. Grinch by Albert Hague

cantussings 2022-11-29 | Would you consider making a gift to keep Cantus singing?
cantussings.secure.force.com/donate/?dfId=a0n8a000007NNOjAAO

You are the reason that Cantus has been able to flourish and remain a hallmark of choral singing. Last year, Cantus released eight all-new online programs that reached audiences across all 50 states and thirteen countries. The Star Tribune commented on how, "the group remains remarkably consistent in its chemistry and expert harmonic interplay. And it's all the more admirable that this outstanding octet has chosen to not just comfort its audiences, but challenge them."

Thanks to your support, we’ve also returned to online and in-person concerts, classrooms, and recording studios, and we’re wrapping up a strategic-planning process that redoubles our commitment to serving a growing audience. Our circle continues to broaden as your support has allowed Cantus to invest in high-quality online concerts that have reached audiences across all 50 states, as well as 13 foreign countries. Reaffirming our commitment to access, Cantus will continue to offer these online concerts on a pay-what-you-can model starting at $5. As last year, single tickets for select in-person concerts will also be available on a pay-what-you-can basis from $5.

For the last 28 years, the support of our loyal donors has enabled us to serve our community. Today, as we work to rebound from the ongoing pandemic, we once again respectfully request your investment in our work in Minnesota and beyond.

Thank you for helping to keep Cantus singing.

Recorded live at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in December of 2021.
