SUMMARY:A Celebration of the Choral Art
DESCRIPTION:Two festive tours-de-force for choir and brass by William Walton and John Rutter are combined with J.S. Bach’s Cantata 118 O Jesu Christ\, meins Lebens Licht (O Jesus Christ\, light of my life)\, and Morten Lauridsen’s earliest choral cycle\, the Mid-Winter Songs on poetry by Robert Graves.  The concert gives eloquent expression to both cosmic praise and deep intimacy.  Walton’s ebullient Coronation Te Deum was composed for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953\, and features lush double-choir writing and infectious rhythm.  John Rutter’s joyful Gloria\, composed 20 years later contains fanfares aplenty and a rhapsodically lyrical middle movement.  Lauridsen’s setting of the Graves poetry charts the wayward romantic fortunes of the poet in stunningly evocative compositions\, with challenging and crystalline music for choir and piano. \nWe are making Bach Choir history by offering this fabulous program at the State Theater in Easton\, our first time in the venue.  What a wonderful collaboration between two treasured arts organizations! \nShare This:
