Fall, 2023 – “In Servitium: From Love to Life”
Our Fall, 2023 concert will focus on the theme of service: service to the Divine and service to the Divine in each and every person. The first half of the concert, about 30 minutes in length, will consist of sacred chorale music, including what we believe to be the West Virginia premiere of two pieces composed for the coronation of England’s King Charles and Queen Consort Camille. This year also marks the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd, so to mark this historic occasion, we will be singing his beautiful “Ave Verum.”
The second half of the program, also about 30 minutes, includes some music of today’s leading choral composers, including Jake Runestad and Elaine Hagenberg.
