The DCC Spring program will feature the music of Gabriel Fauré with his “Cantique de Jean Racine” and his moving “Requiem”. The chorus will be joined by an orchestra for both of these works.
You're invited to come to the DCC's concert on Saturday, October 26th, at 4 pm at the First Congregational Church, 164 Deer Hill Ave, Danbury, CT. The concert, "America Sings!" will feature works by American composers. On the program will be the well-known and endearing work by Randall Thompson, “Frostiana”, which sets seven poems by Robert Frost to music. Emma Lou Diemer, who recently passed away, wrote “Three Madrigals”, a work set to three Shakespearean texts. To round out the program, the chorus will sing two works by groundbreaking composer Florence Price, “Praise the Lord” and “Resignation”, Ola Gjeilo’s haunting setting of “Ubi Caritas, and Morten Lauridsen’s “Sure on this Shining Night” and “Dirait-on!” Organist Joshua Ehlebracht will perform a special prelude as a part of the concert which begins at 4 pm. Admission is free. Donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.
