                    “The Bill of Rights: Ten Amendments in Eight Motets,” set to music by Wesleyan University’s John Spencer Camp Professor of Music, Neely Bruce, will be performed on October 10 at Wesleyan University’s Crowell Concert Hall in Middletown. A combination of community choral singers, including those from Middletown-based GMChorale’s chamber ensemble, “Alchemy,” Wesleyan students, and others will join together as “Festival Harmony” to present this work, which will be accompanied by harp, string quintet, flute and oboe. \r\n\r\n“The Bill of Rights” was first debuted in Middletown in 2005 and premiered in Boston and Washington, DC in 2012. In writing the music, Prof. Bruce’s goal was to encourage young people to be more aware of the rights embraced by our Founding Fathers and the struggle to pass them on. Composed in the style of William Billings (1746-1800), it is an interesting piece, with a well-messaged compositional genesis and storied performance history throughout the region. \r\n\r\nThe Center for the Study of Guns and Society at Wesleyan - the only center of its kind in the country - has engaged Prof. Bruce and his “The Bill of Rights” for a high-visibility project that includes documentary filmmaker Karyl Evans, Harvard Professor Jill Lepore and Wesleyan Professor Jennifer Tucker, who are producing a documentary and performance video of the work for CPTV and national PBS broadcasts.\r\n\r\nAdmission is free and open to the public.

The centerpiece of the concert will be Maurice Duruflé's beautiful Requiem, Op. 9 (1948 version), his most famous composition. Other works by 20th and 21st century French luminaries will be included.

                    GMChorale will present Brahm’s “Liebeslieder Waltzes,” as well as contemporary pieces by James Mulholland, Morten Lauridsen and Shawn Kirchner, at the Santo Fragilio Performing Arts Center at Middletown High School on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Each composer selected poetry that found its way into the music featured in GMChorale’s mainstage concert, “Love, Waltzes and Luminous Skies.” The selected pieces are connected in a variety of ways: musically, texturally, stylistically and thematically.
When Johannes Brahms composed his Liebeslieder Waltzes (Opus 52 and Opus 65), he turned for inspiration to Georg Friedrich Daumer’s Polydora, a collection of folksongs exploring the varied aspects of romantic love – longing, flirtation, devotion, tenderness, and sorrow, to name a few. Brahms introduces us to 32 of these poems and ends with a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe that sums up the pain and joy of love.
Five short thematically connected pieces have been added to the program. The Elm City Girls’ Choir will be singing “Dirait-on,” Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem set to music by Morten Lauridsen. GMChorale continues with a James Mulholland arrangement from his composition “Four Robert Burns Ballads.” “My love is like a red, red rose,” the first line of a ballad by the 18th Century poet Robert Burns, speaks of love and steadfast devotion. James Agee, a mid-20th Century screenwriter, film critic, and author, whose poem “Sure on...

                    Southborough, MA — The Assabet Valley Mastersingers (AVM) is thrilled to announce its November 2025 concert. This concert features the Mass in C by Beethoven, as well as the Requiem in D by Maurice Durufle. We will have an organist accompany the Requiem in D. 
Join the choir to kick off this inspiring season of music by AVM that speaks to unity, resilience, and hope. Our 2025-2026 season, “Together We Can”, brings powerful works together that celebrate the strength of the human spirit.
Beethoven’s deeply expressive Mass in C and Duruflé’s poignant Requiem explore faith, memory, and the emotions that connect us to something greater. The Mass in C was written during the middle period of Beethoven's musical career; this was Beethoven's first mass and very much influenced by the aura of Haydn's reputation. Durufle’s Requiem features impressionistic harmonies and is deeply serene and meditative.
