2012-2013 Season

A Chorus of Peace

Our performance is generated by the chanson melody “L’homme Armé”(The Armed Man), a popular song originating in the 15th c. This and other texts in the program are filled with imagery about what it means to be equipped to protect and strive for peace.

 The program will include excerpts of contemporary Welsh composer, Karl Jenkins’ stirring composition based on “The Armed Man,” as well as a setting of this melody by 15th c. composer Antoine Busnois. Other selections will include settings of Dona Nobis Pacem by Giulio Caccini and Randall Stroope, with works by Hildegard von Bingen, Jan Sibelius and Morten Lauridsen.

Through creative expression of choral and instrumental music combined with ethnic dance, featuring Sankofa Kuumba Dance Ensemble, we  offer this performance as a symbol of peace for all.
