ON THE ORIGIN OF

Divine Music

---

EXPERIENCE MUSICAL EVOLUTION IN ACTION through some of history’s most beautiful sacred works! This concert traces a historical path of sacred music by focusing on six timeless texts that composers and singers have taken inspiration from for centuries.

Beginning in the Renaissance era and culminating in modern times, the first half of the concert unfolds in chronological order as the chorus collaborates with cello and piano and offers pieces by some of history’s greatest composers, including Victoria, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Herbert Howells.

The second half of the concert features all modern works, which in their own way reimagine the same six sacred texts but with a contemporary flair. Morten Lauridsen’s “Magnum Mysterium” is one of his most popular and beautiful a cappella works and is paired with Andrew Bleckner’s equally stunning setting of “Psalm 42” sung in Hebrew. Gunnar Eriksson’s “To the Mothers In Brazil: Salve Regina” features percussion, improvisation, and maternal cries for an end to war. The concert closes with a rousing and timeless spiritual, “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!”
