From Captivity to the Holy City
"Opus 7, one of the most esteemed musical groups anywhere" - Richard Campbell, The Gathering Note, December 2009

Opus 7 presents an evening of unusual harmonies, dramatic dissonances, and lush romanticism in this collection of powerful psalms and motets for Lent. These texts describe the journey "From Captivity to the Holy City" not only celebrating the ascent from earthly Jerusalem to the heavenly Holy City they also describe the human experience as we move from darkness to light, from enslavement to liberation, and from suffering to joy. The settings drawn from Psalms 121-137 are also known as the "Songs of Ascents," thought to have their origin as devotional songs in praise of Yahweh for delivering the Hebrews from foreign bondage and for the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Included will be works by Egil Hovland, Pavel Lukaszewski, Johannes Brahms, and Morton Lauridsen.

Opus 7 was formed by Loren Ponten in 1992 and features some of the Northwest's finest choral artists. The group is known for its glorious sound, ardent musicality, and innovative programming of late 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century choral repertoire.
