GMChorale is thrilled to be performing the first three movements – Splendor, Caritas (Love) and Nox (Night). Thomas Brand, Artistic Director of the Elm City Girls’ Choir (which he founded in 1993 while a student at Yale) and Saecula singers, was commissioned by GMChorale to compose “Sing On!” for their upcoming 50th Anniversary in 2027. Its ten short movements feature variations on Thomas Tallis’ 16th century “Canon,” entwined with Brand’s arrangements of well-known European and American melodies as well as original music. “Sing On!” is a celebration of the power of song and an expression of diverse faiths, values and spiritual backgrounds, focusing on the shared human experience.

Perhaps more than ANY other time in recent memory, this year we definitely need a little Christmas! On the heels of the Catholic Bishops’ letter calling for compassion and mercy in our treatment of immigrants, we will gather to sing about a little child being born, whose life’s mission would be, in large part, to spread love and caring to all, but particularly to the marginalized and powerless. As we wait for Christmas, our concert this year will start with a heartfelt call for God to come among us. That will be followed by many beloved carols and anthems from composers and arrangers such as Bach, John Rutter, John Gardner, June Nixon, Malcolm Sargent, and Hugo Distler, including a lush setting of Robert Frost’s poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Eric Whitacre. Finally, our program will return us to the quiet stillness of a wondrous scene in a stable so long ago. Come join us, come sing, come share in this journey to Christmas!
Works by Bach, John Rutter, John Gardner, June Nixon, Malcolm Sargent, Clarkson, and Hugo Distler, Eric Whitacre.
