***** Imagine being elected to the English Parliament at age 16 - not because of birth, but because of great oratory ability and KEEN SENSE OF LANGUAGE! This was Edmund Waller (1606-1687). "Go Lovely Rose" parallels the theme of "Carpe Diem" - to seize each day, nurture a relationship worth keeping, and embrace life - lest time steals it away.

$DIXIT DOMINUS - SSAA/Strings (Galuppi) Z. RANDALL STROOPE conducting ***** ONE of the TWO MOST EFFECTIVE EXTENDED WORKS ever written for TREBLE ENSEMBLES in my opinion! Clean, balanced phrasing, rich polyphony, highly decorated melismas, soaring soprano lines and full alto sonorities describe just a small fraction of his writing characteristics. Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785), born on the island of Burano, Italy, a neighboring island to Venice. He studied with Antonio Lotti, and was music director for the gifted young women at Ospedale dei Mendicanti, one of Venices four famous schools and orphanages particularly known for their SSAA music ensembles. In 1762, Galuppi was appointed to maestro di coro at St. Marks Cathedral in Venice. SSAA/strings; 3 movements; duration 9:45 Performed by BEL CANTO National Touring Choir, ZRS conducting Join the over 4,300 subscribers to Randalls channel, and see/hear the other 108 videos he has created.
