Corvallis Repertory Singers Presents: Judith: Of Resistance and Resilience
Our final concert of the season features the world premiere of “Songs of Judith,” choral music as resistance, a newly composed work in recognition of our 25th year, by internationally recognized composer Melissa Dunphy. The work sets the story of Judith, as set in the Old English dramatic poem. The new work is accompanied by Thomas Tallis’ “Spem in Alium,” a towering 40-voice polychoral motet, “Exaltations,” a double choir set of pieces by Southern California composer, Reena Esmail, and “Luminous Night of the Soul,” a shimmering ode to the resilience of the human spirit, by Ola Gjeilo.
Join the Corvallis Repertory Singers as they celebrate their 25th Anniversary and journey into the past and back to the future. Starting with their roots with a concert devoted to Bach and Mozart, then to the upper regions of Norway, using color, sound, and video to bring the listeners a northern lights experience, and finally back in time to experience the drama of the story of Judith.
