Chorale 2020 Concert

This concert features a wide selection of chorale works from various genres. Highlights include Beethoven’s Hallelujah chorus from the Mount of Olives (in celebration of Beethoven’s upcoming 250th year), several anthems by Dan Forrest, the gospel piece Lead me to the Rock by Walter Black, and the premiere of Peace I Leave with You, a piece written for the Chorale by Alumnus Chris Enloe, who is currently studying at Peabody Conservatory. The chorale also performs Agnus Dei, the choral arrangement of Barber’s Adagio for Strings, the semi-official American anthem of mourning associated with events including J.F. Kennedy’s assassination and 9/11. The concert ends with the traditional gathering of Chorale alumni into the group as they perform the Chorale’s signature song, Tom Fettke’s You are the Light.
