Welcome
to Voce's 2007-2008 season, our 19th
TO ALL THE EARTH, PEACE Saturday, December 15, 2007 at 8 pm This holiday concert will feature the premiere performance of a new work commissioned by Voce, "Magnificat, We Sing" by renowned composer and arranger, Alice Parker. Voce will also sing some Christmas music (mostly a cappella) by composers of the 20th and 21st centuries: Franz Biebl, Morten Lauridsen, Kirby Shaw and others. The audience will be invited to sing along with some favorite Christmas carols. As always, a reception will follow each performance.
SONG FOR THE CHANGING SEASON Saturday, February 23, 2008 at 8 pm The
days between the beginning of February and the beginning of
April are often filled with fatigue for the lingering winter
and impatience for the beginning of spring. This concert looks
at the calendars of the world, and finds all kinds of dates
to celebrate with song: Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, Valentine's Day, International Women's Day, Harriet Tubman Day, St. Patrick's Day, Purim, Easter, April Fools' Day,
and more! March 21, 2008 alone is inspiration for several concerts
of song: it is Good Friday, the International Day for the Elimination
of Racial Discrimination, the Spring Equinox, and the birthday
of Johann Sebastian Bach.
A MUSICAL VISIT TO THE BRITISH ISLES Saturday, May 3, 2008 at 8 pm The music of its break-away colonies, and therefore much of the music of the United States, has its origins in a rich musical history of the British Isles. The concluding concert of the 2007-2008 season will survey this legacy: from folk song to opera, from church to cabaret, and from pop song to motet. Music from England, Ireland, and Wales will be included, and again, the audience will be invited to sing with us.
