Christian Sheet Music
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands, sing forth the honor of his name, and make his praise glorious.
Totus Tuus: Choral music by Gorecki, Part, Ciurlionis, Kilar, Ramins, Vasks and Schnittke
Gorecki’s “Totus Tuns” and Part’s “Seven Magnificat Antiphons” are the familiar pieces here. The other compositions are also attractive examples of northern European church music. The performances were recorded in the resonant Cathedral of Riga. The album commemorates the death of Pope John Paul II. One page of the booklet solicits charitable contributions to an orphanage in Latvia.

(PRWEB) May 18, 2005 –The celebrations of Ayr’s 800 years as a Royal Burgh reach an exciting climax this weekend (May 21/22).
Residents and visitors alike are invited to the Low Green on Sunday to witness a piece of history and step back into medieval Ayrshire with a special re-enactment of the delivery of the Royal Burgh charter.
The charter will be delivered by horseback from Lanark, where it was originally signed in 1205 by King William the Lion of Scotland.
A replica charter will be signed at Lanark Castle on Saturday afternoon by the Lord Lieutenant of Lanark.
It will then be brought on horseback to Ayr, where it will arrive at the Low Green at 12 noon on Sunday.
It will be presented to the Dean of Ayr Guildry Doug Bridson, before being put on public display in front of the County Buildings, while a civic reception is held inside (1-2.30pm).
At 2.30pm on Sunday a civic procession will proceed from County Buildings to Wellington Square Gardens, where Dean of Ayr Guildry Doug Bridson will present the charter to Provost of South Ayrshire Council Gordon McKenzie.
After the ceremonial, everyone present will be able to enjoy a traditional fair, a jousting competition and exhilarating battle and sword displays from re-enactment group Combat 800, not to mention a bouncy castle and other amusements for children.
Ayr Pipe Band will be playing, with performances by solo singers.
Refreshments will be available all afternoon.
