VerSeS: A Journey Through the Ages



Alex Chai, my good friend, took part in a classical presentation by VerSes Music Ensembles, singing tenor. A few of us went to support him as well as to satiate our senses with their selection of wonderful and beautiful works of scared music. I love classical music and I enjoyed their ensemble of the following:

O Nata Lux
Thomas Tallis (1505-85)

Zion hört die Wächter singen, from Cantata No.140
Suite for Unaccompanied Cello No.6 Prelude
Arioso, from Cantata No.156

Laudamus Te, from Gloria in D
Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)

But Thou Didst Not Leave His Soul in Hell
Rejoice! O Daughter of Zion
Hallelujah
from The Messiah
George Frederic Handel (1685-1759)

Rollend in Schäumenden Wellen, from The Creation
