The Phoenix Quartet
Vocal music is an especially powerful form of communication that can encourage a better understanding of the struggles and achievements that define people and can develop values that sustain people in life’s experiences. It has a unique power to create community. Throughout its rich cultural history and directly because of its melding of poetry and music, vocal music has had a place in all celebrations of life - to herald new life, mourn the passing of life, mark holidays, and to explore the human condition.

sings
Vienna (Cafe Vienna)
words and music by Richard Pearson Thomas
Ah, Vienna, Vienna, what would Vienna be
Without the music that floods us with warm melody?
Ah, Vienna, Vienna, home to the monarchs of song,
We open our hearts and joyfully sing along.
We know that whenever grief or hardship press 'round,
There's always a refuge in the light and laughter of sound.
Ah, Vienna, Vienna, unite us in true harmony.
We'll shine as a beacon of love for the whole world to see.
If hardship press 'round,
There's always a refuge in the light and laughter of sound?
Ah, Vienna, Vienna, unite us in true harmony,
We'll shine as a beacon of love for the whole world to see.
