Always Singing: Folk Songs from Around the World
Always Singing: Folk Songs from Around the World Robert Bode, conductor John David Earnest, composer-in-residence
The very heart and soul of a culture are reflected in its folk music. Join Choral Arts in this celebration of world folk music as interpreted by some of classical music's greatest composers. Immerse yourself in the captivating rhythms of "Gypsy Songs" by Brahms, the lush harmonies of "Chansons Francaises" by Francis Poulenc, the passion of South American folk songs by Carlos Chaves and Heitor Villa-Lobos, plus settings of the popular American folk songs "Shenandoah" by James Erb and "Clementine" by our composer-in-residence John David Earnest.
Choral Arts will also premiere John David Earnest's new choral work, "Returning", based on the poetry of Phoebe Farrell-Sherman, Choral Arts' 2013 Finding Your Voice poetry competition winner.
We are pleased to welcome Susan Senft and The Chamber Singers of Pacifica Choirs as our guest artists at our Friday, May 16th performance in Seattle.
