Repertoire
Cantate Domino	Ruth Watson Henderson
	b. 1932
O sing to the lord a new song, sing to the Lord all the earth. O sing to the Lord, and bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feard above all Gods.
*****
III. Laudamus te	Antonio Lucio Vivaldi
From Gloria in D Major	1678-1741
We praise Thee, Lord. We give blessing to Thee. We do worship Thee. We glorify Thee, Lord.

All that You Hold	text by: St. Clare of Assisi
From St. Clare's Letter to the Blessed Ages of Prague	music by: Glenn McClure
This poem is set to an Irish dance melody entitiled, "Road to Lidoonvarna." Though the original tune was a fast jig, we find a new character emerge out of this slow lyrical treatment.
*****
Elijah Rock	Jester Hairston
Traditional Spiritual	1901-2000
Oh Elijah, Elijah rock, comin’ up Lord. Come on sister help me to pray, tell me my Lord done pass dis way. Satan ain’t nothin’ but a snake in the grass. He’s a conjur. He’s a liar. Hallelujah Lord. If I could I surely would stand on the rock where Moses stood. Elijah rock. I’m coming up Lord.
