Last June, Schola Cantorum Jubilate recorded a newly composed piece by Ruben Zahra entitled ‘Vrbe Nova’. The lyrics are those written on the foundation stone of Valletta which still lies in the church of Our Lady of Victories. This new piece, rather modern in its genre and accompanied by percussion, is written for Valletta18.
Schola Cantorum Jubilate animated the Nuptial Mass of Sylvianne Zahra and Jeffrey Allan Xerri at the Gozo Cathedral. The bride was welcomed in church by Schubert’s notes of the ‘Ave Maria’ which was interpreted by Soprano Georgina Gauci, who interpreted also the solo part of Franck’s ‘Panis Angelicus’ sung during the communion.
Autumn brought with it a new chapter for Schola Cantorum Jubilate. Though autumn drifts from hot summer days to bleak winters, the change in SCJ is surely less drastic though more beneficial.
Schola Cantorum Jubilate was very excited that the day had finally arrived. A very dear member of the choir, Dianne Attard was to unite in marriage to Joseph Bartolo. Preparations for the Nuptial Ceremony were held way before so that the couple, together with their families and friends could hold dear this God-sent blessing for their entire lives. By virtue of this, Schola Cantorum Jubilate played a very active part in this Ceremony held at Saint George’s Basilica in Victoria. The wedding mass started at 5.00 pm.
Schola Cantorum Jubilate was invited by Mgr. Archpriest and the Reverend Chapter of the Basilica of Xagħra to animate the ‘Te Deum Mass’ on the occasion of the Patron Saint Feast.
