DARK HOUR (SATB)

Turing Believes Machines THink (SATB)
‘Turing Believes Machines Think’ sets British mathematician Alan Turing’s tragic last syllogism:
Turing believes machines think
Turing lies with men
Therefore machines do not think
WILD Mountain THYME (SATB)
An adaptation of this famous and tender Scottish folksong.
In Principio (SATB)
A setting of the Last Gospel:
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and God was the Word...
Who Are We (SATB)
‘Who Are We’ marvels at the enormity of the universe. The text is by the great scientist, communicator and atheist, Carl Sagan:
We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star
lost in a galaxy in some forgotten corner
of a universe containing far more galaxies than people.
