Featuring American composers and musical styles, this concert takes us on a journey through the developing music scene of America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As America comes into its own as a leader in choral music, we see the incorporations of American folk music, from hymns to spirituals and beyond. And now, as we move into the twenty-first century, we see the American heritage of diversity and multicultural influences manifest itself in a diversification of musical styles and increasing incorporation of world music. This concert will explore the morphing role of choirs and the voice in this melting pot of American music.
Some of the pieces to be performed:

Aaron Copland’s “Zion’s Walls”
Eric Whitacre’s “Lux Aurumque”
F. Melius Christiansen’s “Beautiful Savior”
Morten Lauridsen’s “Dirait-on” from Les chansons des roses
Moses Hogan’s “Battle of Jericho”
Christopher Tin’s “Baba Yetu”

And many more!
