Divano

"Divano" brings a completely different energy to the choir loft. Originally created by Eric Levi for the musical project Era, this piece is famous for its sweeping, cinematic sound and driving rhythm. The lyrics blend Latin-sounding words and Italian phrases into a mystical chant that feels ancient, yet the driving beat underneath gives it a modern, epic scale. When the voices unite on the repeating "Divano messiah" lines, the sound builds into something truly powerful that captivates anyone listening.

Because of its dramatic flair and non-liturgical text, we usually save a piece like this for special choir concerts, youth rallies, or choral competitions rather than Sunday Mass. It is a fantastic way for a choir to show off its dynamic range, breath control, and rhythmic precision. Singing it requires a strong, confident attack—especially in the marcato sections—and a willingness to lean into the mystery and majesty of the music. It is a joy to rehearse and always leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
