Passing of the Year — Thank You!

 
 

The opening concert of the Sangre de Cristo Chorale’s 48th season began in the rain with Z. Randall Stroope's In Time of Silver Rain, and offered music of optimism and hope as it traced the passing of a year and moments in our lives. Nature continued its participation and by the end of the concert, a ray of sunlight shone through the high windows in the church in time for Aaron Copland's The Promise of Living. It was a joy to sing this music and an even bigger joy to share it with such an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. We hope you were able to join us!

Mid-Winter Songs is a seasonal concert that celebrates the extraordinary beauty of the winter season with insights regarding the human experience.  At the center of the concert is Morten Lauridsen’s five-movement choral symphony Mid-Winter Songs (1980) for chorus and piano, based on the poetry of British poet and novelist Robert Graves. Literary insight and musical inspiration are fused in a composition that evidences a virtuosic degree of integration: all of the main melodic motives developed throughout this score are announced in the dramatic opening measures.
