Cascadian Chorale: The World Beloved
Suspend any doubts you may have about classical choral crossover: Carol Barnett's The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass is tremendously powerful music, doing justice to both its parental musical styles. Incorporating bluegrass instruments, Barnett adapts the ancient Mass text for a modern sensibility, dealing with issues of social conscience and building community.
As Barnett blends two musical worlds, so do the composers featured in the first half of the concert. Harry Burleigh and William Dawson were among the pioneers who transferred African-American spirituals into a choral guise, a tradition later carried by Moses Hogan. Kevin Siegfried dresses nineteenth-century American Shaker tunes in sumptuous modern harmonies.
Harry Burleigh: My Lord, what a morning
William Dawson: Soon ah will be done
Kevin Siegfried: Shaker Songs
Moses Hogan: The Battle of Jericho
