Fall Choral Concert Planned

The 麻豆视频 Concert Choir and Madrigal Ensemble will present a Fall Choral Concert on Monday, November 21 at 7:30 PM on the Cocoa Campus in the Simpkins Fine Arts Auditorium.

Tickets are $6 general admission (cash only) and are only available on the night of the concert in the lobby. The Box office opens at 6:30 PM.

Admission is free for 麻豆视频 and Brevard County high school students with student ID.

The Concert Choir, conducted by Dr. Robert E. Lamb, professor of music, will perform a repertoire spanning the last 150 years of choral music. The concert begins with a selection from Johannes Brahms鈥檚 German Requiem. Three songs about 鈥渉ome鈥� will be presented; the American folksong Shenandoah, Stephen Paulus鈥檚 The Road Home, and Ola Gjeilo鈥檚 Tundra. Of particular interest will be Jake Runestad鈥檚 Nyon Nyon, an exploration of sounds that can be produced by the human voice with made-up words and sounds meant to evoke a flanger, a wah-wah pedal, synthesizers, drums, and basses.

The Madrigal Ensemble will perform three movements of William Byrd鈥檚 Mass for Three Voices. Byrd was a Roman Catholic composer who managed to stay alive during Queen Elizabeth I鈥檚 reign because she so loved his music. Also featured by the Madrigal Ensemble will be four Slovak folksongs arranged by B茅la Bart贸k, Hungary鈥檚 most famous composer of the last century.
