Saint Andrew Chorale & Orchestra: Light & Darkness - works by Vaughan Williams & Hagenberg

Elaine Hagenberg: Illuminare
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Dona Nobis Pacem
Saint Andrew Chorale & Orchestra
Katherine Wessinger, soprano; Rod Gomez, baritone
Andrew Henderson, conductor
The Saint Andrew Chorale opens its 62nd season with two glorious choral works of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Hagenberg’s Illuminare has quickly gained a place in the modern choral repertoire, set to a compilation of sacred and poetic text in Latin and English, the piece draws on themes of light overcoming darkness. Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem (“Grant us peace”) is a profound plea for peace in a troubled world, setting texts from the Latin Mass alongside poetry by Walt Whitman reflecting on the horrors of war and the hope for reconciliation.
