November 18, 3 pm – “Same text, New tunes!”
Lyrics haven’t changed but composers across time have put their sound with these familiar words. Maybe you’re a purist who likes the lyrics set in the old styles. Maybe you prefer the new sound of contemporary music or the harmonies of jazz. This concert has it all.
We will sing traditional settings of Ave verum corpus by William Byrd and W. A. Mozart; Messe basse by Gabriel Fauré; and four madrigals by John Bennet, Orlando Gibbons, and Thomas Morley and then jazz settings of the mass text by Will Todd and madrigals by Bob Chilcott, accompanied by a jazz trio.
