Feathered Dove

USA, Adam Simon, 2019

This choral piece, written by our very own Adam Simon, is inspired by American Appalachian folk music and Sacred Harp singing. The text is a common meter setting  of  Psalm 55 by the English hymnodist Isaac Watts. 


Oxford

USA, Sacred Harp, arr. John Massengale,1850

This lively American Christmas song is from The Sacred Harp, a tune book first published in the mid 19th century. Sacred Harp singing is a community singing tradition focused not on performance but on the joy and power of singing together.

Un Vi Vantate

Corsica, Traditional

The paghjella is a highly ornamented and improvised singing tradition from the island of Corsica. Th text says: “You may boast, youth, but your elders are everywhere. Even if you are nimble like deer, they will hunt you down, and like hunters, they are watching, night and day.”


Nothing But The Water

USA, Grace Potter, 2005

Sophie and Sora were drawn to this song for its powerful harmonies and their love of singing American music together. It was written by acclaimed musician and composer Grace Potter, who is from Sora’s home state of Vermont.

Paradise

USA, M.L. Swan, 1867

Originally published in The New Harp of Columbia in 1867, this song has been recently repopularized by its publication in a new American songbook, The Shenandoah Harmony. Its harmonies, unaltered from the original version, sound strikingly modern and very satisfying.
