"Abendlied" (Evening Song)
Josef Rheinberger

The first song in our very first international competition on our first year of existence. Learning to pronounce German words for a group composed of 70% first time choir members was a huge challenge for us. Good thing we had so much help from experienced choir masters who were very generous of their time.

The text is a verse from the biblical narration of the Road to Emmaus appearance according to Luke 24:29 in Martin Luther's German version of the bible:

"Bleib bei uns, denn es will Abend werden, und der Tag hat sich geneiget." which translates to: "Bide with us, for evening shadows darken, and the day will soon be over."
