Grzegorz Gorczyki, composer

Our opening piece, In Virtute Tua (In Thy Strength), SATB with piano, violin, and cello accompaniment, composed by late Baroque-era composer Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki, who happens to be very well-known in Poland.

Lyric/Translation:

In virtute tua, Domine
latabitur justus:
Et super salutare tuum
exsultabit vehementer.
Desiderium animae ejus
tribuisti ei.

In Thy strength, O Lord,
the just man shall rejoice:
and in Thy salvation he shall
rejoice exceedingly.
Thou hast given him his heart's desire.

taken from Psalms 20:2-3

Gorgeous! I've only listened to three versions of this piece on YouTube so far, and this is by far the best of the three. Fabulous Latin vowels and excellent dynamic contrast! Keep up the good work!

@EmilyAzure Thank you! Though I honestly thought that the choir could have made their "t"s just a LITTLE bit softer.
