这是 Musica Plenti 写给中国朋友信。 给Musica Plenti请用英文，谢谢大家！

Dear Chinese Friends:

We are a small vocal chamber ensemble. Formed in Connecticut in 1987, Musica Plenti members are professional singers who combine solo virtuosity with sensitive ensemble singing. Our repertoire covers a wide range of classical music from madrigals and motets to opera and modern American music.

God Bless Our Homeland was brought to our attention by a Chinese friend after the tragic Sichuan earthquake. The poetry, the music and the video clips of the earthquake scenes so deeply moved us that we decided to perform this song as the finale of Musica Plenti’s Twentieth Anniversary Concert. God Bless Our Homeland is a simple song of haunting beauty. It is a fitting end to our concert which celebrates the common bonds of our humanity and calls us all to become one with each other.

We believe strongly that music has a special role to play in binding people together. Musica Plenti is honored to be given this privilege of directly bridging a cultural gap between societies. Our performance is one small contribution expressing solidarity with our brothers and sisters in China and emphasizing what unites us.

God bless our homelands!
