Harmonium Recordings
Available now: The Peace of Wild Things - continues a several year tradition of singing about peace in our March concert, and combines it with a reverence for all living things. We are so happy to welcome some children from Morristown’s Neighborhood House in their first ever concert to share with us in this celebration of life! Recorded live in March 2010. Winter Garden - For all of its 30-year history, Harmonium’s logo has included a rose. The symbol of transient beauty seems apropos for a choral group-- each concert is such a short time, yet so poignantly prepared and loved by its singers. As the days get colder and darker, images of the wilderness, the flower blooming in the winter garden, have been used throughout the ages to represent hope in many traditions. Come explore the garden with us! Recorded live in December 2009. Worlds Untraveled - This concert includes a large range of styles from Renaissance and Baroque to Russian Orthodox and African-American spirituals. subtitled “Music on the Soul’s Journey,” all of the works mention the soul in some way. Recorded live in June 2009. Waitin' for the Dawn of Peace - Throughout human history musicians, poets and artists have tried to give voice to the cost of war. In this concert we have paired Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass, appropriately nicknamed “Mass in Time of Anxiety,” with music of war’s alarms and peace’s call from medieval times to the present. Recorded live in February and March 2009. Tempus - songs about Time, featuring JS Bach's Cantata 106, Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit and the winner of our eleventh annual Choral Composition Contest, recorded live in June 2008. Two Cantatas - two works commissioned by Harmonium,
The Cantata of the Animals (music by Elliot Levine, text by Jabez VanCleef) and
A Child's Christmas in Wales (music by Matthew Harris, text by Dylan Thomas).
Recorded live in December 1996 (Animals) and December 2002 (Child's Christmas.)
