Charles Wood - Hail, Gladdening Light
Felix Mendelssohn - Drei Geistliche Lieder

Charles Wood’s bright and bouyant English anthem Hail, Gladdening Light features two antiphonal choirs - it’s surround sound from the 20th Century! • After a visit to England, Felix Mendelssohn penned Drei Geistliche Lieder in the style of an English anthem. Written in three movements and featuring mezzo-soprano Dr. Liza Kelly, this anthem will send you home with fabulous melodies that will get stuck in your head! Mendelssohn’s ability to craft a lovely melody is on full display. The Southern Kentucky Choral Society will join the Treble Chorus, University Singers and Chorale for an afternoon of great music in the historic Van Meter Auditorium.

Daniel Pinkham - Wedding Cantata
Eric Whitacre - Five Hebrew Love Songs

with chamber ensemble

Featuring the poetry of the Song of Solomon, Wedding Cantata by Daniel Pinkham is a fantastic setting of scriptural love poetry. Set in four movements for strings and horns, it has great power and exquisite beauty. • Contemporary American composer Eric Whitacre composed Five Hebrew Love Songs for his wife, Hila Plitman, who is also the poet. Set for strings and tambourine, it has flashes of folk music, light and delicate text painting, and moments of beautiful harmony. Whitacre set the five songs for strings and tambourine. The Southern Kentucky Choral Society will join the Treble Chorus, University Singers and Chorale for an afternoon of great music in the historic Van Meter Auditorium.
