The Night has many hours... A contemplative evening of modern choral music featuring Erhard Karkoschka's Vier kleine Finalsätze zu "Es ist ein Schnitter, heisst der Tod," and Kaija Saariaho's: Tag des Jahrs. The genesis of the title for the program comes from the poem upon which David Lang based his I Lie, a piece The Crossing first performed at the 2007 Spoleto Festival. We continue our relationship with the music of James MacMillan in his Magnificat and Nunc dimittis, a piece instantaneously recognizable to those even remotely familiar with his style: the simple chordal sections of tranquility (Mary says, “ah, now I know”) juxtaposed with ecstatic organ ornaments. |
