| Description |
Saturday, May 17 at 8:00 p.m.
St. Mark's Cathedral
Quickly becoming a favorite of local audiences, Opus 7 lets down its collective hair in its second Spring Folly concert, featuring humorous works for choir and music inspired by the romantic season of spring. This concert will also feature performances of works by the winners of our Student Choral Composition Awards and the world premiere of a new work by Opus 7s composer-in-residence, John Muehleisen. And with the election just a few months away, you can expect a few humorous election-year surprises!
Works extolling the romantic season of spring include:
Benjamin Brittens charming Five Flower Songs
Herbert Howells sensuous The Summer is Coming
George Gershwins jazzy Broadway-inspired madrigal Sing of Spring
The Swingle Singers jazzy take on Shakespeare: It was a Lover and His Lass
Humorous works include:
Irving Fines darkly humorous Caroline Million from The Choral New Yorker
Folke Rabes bizarrely theatrical Rondes
Vagn Holmboes quirky fairy-tale setting of The Wee Wee Man
Finnish composer Jaakko Mntyjrvis Pseudo-Yoik, a parody of Lappland folk music
Randall Thompsons Gods Bottles for womens voices
Charles Ivess timely election-year plea, Vote for Names
Bern Herbolsheimers folksy romp for mens voices, Ratcoon
