Cantique de Jean Racine Op 11 by Fauré
Verbe égal au Très-Haut, notre unique espérance Jour éternel de la terre et des cieux De la paisible nuit nous rompons le silence: Divin Sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux Répands sur nous le feu de ta grâce puissante; Que tout l'enfer fuie au son de ta voix; Dissipe le sommeil d'une âme languissante Qui la conduit à l'oubli de tes lois! Ô Christ! Sois favorable à ce peuple fidèle Pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé; Reçois les chants qu'il offre à ta gloire immortelle Et de tes dons qu'il retourne comblé
and in english... Word equal to the Most High , our only hope Eternal light of the earth and the heavens The quiet night we break the silence : Divine Saviour , cast your eyes upon us Pour out upon us the fire of your mighty grace ; All hell flee at the sound of your voice ; Dispels sleep a sorrowful soul Which leads to the forgetting of your laws ! O Christ ! Be in favor of faithful Now gathered to bless you ; Get the songs it offers to your immortal glory And your gifts he returns filled

The Ground by Ola Gjeilo
Composer/pianist Ola Gjeilo joins the CWU Chamber Choir (Gary Weidenaar, director) in presenting Gjeilo's "The Ground" - featuring the the CWU string faculty members who comprise the Kairos String Quartet.
In mid-April, 2011, Ola spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus for a project in which he joined the choir in recording 3 of his compositions.
On this video, Gjeilo accompanies the choir on "The Ground" He is playing a written accompaniment on this video. He created an improvised accompaniment on the other two videos of this series. One is on his setting of the "Ubi Caritas" text and the other is on his composition, "Northern Lights", Because of his view that improvising is a wonderful snapshot of artists "at that moment", the project was entitled "In the Moment".
