Starting with Lusitano’s Regina Caeli from the mid-16th century to Dolly Parton’s more contemporary Light of a Clear Blue Morning, this Chromatica concert covers more than four centuries of dazzling choral compositions looking skywards. Another 16th century piece from Michael East is titled Hence Stars, Too Dim of Light.
Two pieces by Brahms, O schöne Nacht and In stiller Nacht, continue to demonstrate Chromatica’s love of his music. Eriks Esenvalds’ The Heavens Flock and Stars continue Chromatica’s examination of this outstanding contemporary composer from Latvia. Add in pieces by Michael John Trotta and Morton Lauridsen and these concerts display the peak of choral composition over the centuries.
“These pieces are at once challenging and lyrical. We continue to search out the best in choral music across the centuries and present a unique repertoire for our audiences,” said David Huff, founding artistic director of Chromatica. “Chromatica has grown professionally and musically over the fourteen years since our foundation. These concerts will delight our audiences as much as they have delighted our singers.”
