The St. Louis Chamber Chorus presents the first concert of the 2013-2014 season, The Ancients Speak: Greek. The intimacy of Sappho, the
pathos of Sophocles & Euripides, and the exclamations of the Greek
Anthology inform the music of Ned Rorem and Ildebrando Pizzetti, Virgil Thomson
and Edward Elgar. The original ancient text set by Clare Maclean contrasts with
Calvocoressi’s English translations that bring us to the modern era; they are
the basis of the haunting Five Greek
Folk Songs, arranged by Sir Arnold Bax.
