"My Heart's in the Highlands" - Robert Burns (1759-1796), arr. Arvo Pärt; David James (countertenor), Christopher Bowers-Broadbent (organ)
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer - A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe; (=ree) My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North The birth place of Valour, the country of Worth; Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow; Farewell to the straths and green valleys below; (=breed dal) Farewell to the forrests and wild-hanging woods; Farwell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe; My heart's in the Highlands, whereever I go.

"Es Ist ein Ros' entsprungen", Praetorius (1571 – 1621); The Gesualdo Six at Ely Cathedral.
Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, aus einer Wurzel zart, wie uns die Alten sungen, von Jesse kam die Art Und hat ein Blümlein bracht mitten im kalten Winter, wohl zu der halben Nacht.
Das Röslein, das ich meine, davon Isaias sagt, ist Maria die reine die uns das Blümlein bracht. Aus Gottes ew'gem Rat hat sie ein Kind geboren Welches uns selig macht.
O Jesu, bis zum Scheiden aus diesem Jamerthal Laß dein Hilf uns geleiten hin in der Engel Saal, In deines Vaters Reich, da wir dich ewig loben: o Gott, uns das verleih!
