13 dicembre: The World Choral Day

Proclamazione
Cantate cori del mondo!
Le vostre voci facciano scaturire sorgenti
là dove vi sono roghi;
I vostri canti seminino rose
là dove ci sono campi di battaglie.
Aprite dei solchi e seminate amore
onde poter cogliere i frutti della speranza.
Cantate la libertà
là dove governano i despoti!
Cantate l’uguaglianza
là dove s’annida la povertà.
Cantate l’amore
là dove prevale l’odio.
Il vostro canto possa guidare il mondo
così che la pace abbia il sopravvento sulla guerra
Così che tutti abbiano cura della Terra,
perché non esistano più discriminazioni
razziali,
perché tutti assieme possiamo sentirci fratelli e sorelle,
perché la terra gioisca al suono delle nostre voci.

The World Choral Day

The World Choral Day  An international choral event to extol the values of solidarity, peace and understanding!

Thousands of choirs have joined in the celebration of World Choral Day on or around the 2nd Sunday in December in the past twenty years. Millions of singers across the globe have been involved in World Choral Day concerts, festivals, sing-alongs, choral seminars, Days of Friendship and other events.

The World Choral Day is an initiative of Alberto Grau from the Latin American Vice-Presidency of the International Federation for Choral Music, proposed and approved by the General Assembly of IFCM held in Helsinki in August, 1990, within the framework of the 2nd World Symposium on Choral Music:

““The world is living through severe and continuous crisis of self destruction. There are no possible reasons that can justify these actions. The majority of the human race wants to live in peace with dignity. It is time to show, with more power and strength, that our choral family contributes, through music to break down the artificial barriers product of politics, different ideologies, religious differences, and racial hatred that separate human beings. We must be able to show that MUSIC, the divine art, is more than the mere search of formal perfection and interpretative beauty, music should serve to extol the values of solidarity, peace, and understanding . We cannot work isolated, we have to make all possible efforts to have our voices heard and to let music work its own paths of communication.” ”

These are the main goals of the World Choral Day!
