“Choral Music – A Magnificent Obsession”

Come listen to the voices of the Prescott Chorale as they perform three distinctly unique selections of music that will feed (or create) an obsession with exceptional choral music!
Things Eternal draws from the earliest choral compositions of William Byrd, a brilliant and prolific composer said to be one of the finest composers England has ever produced. From Byrd’s stunning music of the 16th century, the Chorale moves to the choral music of prominent young composer, Ola Gjeilo. Described as lush, harmonious and evocative, Gjeilo’s music as performed by the Chorale will make marvelous memories.

The Music In Poetry introduces you to the lyrical writings of romantic poet, Lord Byron, whose words were many times set to music. Johannes Brahms, a well-known and prolific romantic composer, conversely set poetry to his music. Lastly, the more contemporary music of Samuel Barber rounds out this exceptional collection of music presented by the beautiful voices of the Chorale.

The Prescott Chorale presents Loyalty and Honor through the performance of the music from the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III of England. Ralph Vaughan William’s rousing O Clap Your Hands with full choir, organ and brass, will provide a resplendent display of the Chorale’s talented singers, and an exceptional entertainment experience you won’t want to miss!
