Les Chansons des Roses
Dalhousie Collegium Cantorum Presents Les Chansons des Roses the Music of Morten Lauridsen
Dalhousie Collegium Cantorum presents: Morten Lauridsen: Les Chansons des Roses the Music of Morten Lauridsen Monday, December 9, 7:30 p.m. St. Andrews United Church, Coburg & Robie, Halifax Tickets: $25 regular /$20 for students available at Dalhousies Fountain School of Performing Arts, from choristers, online at brownpapertickets.com, or at the door. American choral composer Morten Lauridsen composed his 5-movement set Les Chansons des Roses in 1993. All movements are settings of poetry by the Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist Rainer Maria Rilke. In each movement, Lauridsen captures the sometimes playful, sometimes serious nature of the poetry through adventurous and complex harmonies that have become the hallmark of his compositional style. The final movement, Dirait-on, is the most well-known of the set. Also featured on the program is the world premeire of Ave Maria, composed by chorister Richard Gooch. This work for double chorus takes as its inspiration the soaring choral styles established by Palestrina, di Lasso, and others. The choir will also perform music by J.S. Bach (Lobet den Herrn), Vaughan Williams (O Clap Your Hands), Elgar (Ave Verum), and others. Our performance on December 9 will feature soloist Patrick Simms (tenor), and the Halifax Boys Honour Choir, conducted by Pamela Burton. Tara Scott is the accompanist for Dalhousie Collegium Cantorum, and the performance will be conducted by Gary Ewer.
Dalhousie Collegium Cantorum is an 80-voice community choir, directed by Gary Ewer, and accompanied by Tara Scott.
