Concordia sophomore Krista Schmidt rehearses for a Chamber Orchestra performance at Concordia.

Four musical ensembles from Concordia University, Nebraska will perform two combined concerts in April. The Chamber Choir and Chamber Orchestra will perform at 7 p.m. on April 21, 2016, in the Recital Hall of Concordia’s Music Center. The Male Chorus and Women’s Chorale will perform at 4 p.m. on April 24, 2016, at St. John Lutheran Church in Seward, Nebraska.

The Chamber Choir and Chamber Orchestra will each perform a variety of musical pieces.  The Chamber Choir will perform “The Blue Bird” by Charles Villiers Standford, “Jubilate Deo” by Peter Anglea and “Come Away to the Skies” by Alice Parker.  (David sent his pieces to you yesterday, correct?)  In addition the two groups will combine to perform Megan Sparling’s “Sing My Tongue, the Glorious Battle” a student composition, hymn setting that was premiered by the A Cappella Choir on tour in March.

The Male Chorus and Women’s Chorale concert will include “Beautiful Savior” by F. Melius Christiansen, “Benedicamus Domino” by Greg Gilpin and “Put On the Whole Armor of God” by Les Taylor, to name a few. The two ensembles will combine to sing Mozart’s ‘Laudate pueri” from “Vesperae Solennes de Confessore (K. 339),” “The Prayer of St. Francis” by René Clausen and “Singer on the Isle of Stones” by Robert Bowker.
