Poetry infuses all of the three widely different selections on the program. Henry Purcell’s Come Ye Sons of Art is a celebratory Birthday Ode for Queen Mary written in 1694. Lo, the Full, Final Sacrifice (1946) is a more solemn voicing of love and death by Gerald Finzi. Finally, Benjamin Britten’s delightful and exuberant Rejoice in the Lamb (1943) proclaims the unique ways that each creature worships God.
Artistic Director Robert Eaton will lead the ensemble, accompanied by organist Brett Maguire. The four vocal soloists will be soprano Patrice Tiedemann, mezzo Jacque Wilson, tenor Stanley Wilson, and baritone Steven Small.
The location is accessible to the physically challenged. Assistive listening systems, courtesy of Crossroads Community Foundation, are available at all concerts for use by hearing impaired audience members. Large print programs will be offered to those desiring enhanced readability.
