Immerse yourself in the lush harmonies, sweeping melodies, and tender poetry of the German Romantics. Impressive works of Johannes Brahms bookend a sublime set of vocal chamber music by Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann, featuring several Desert Chorale artists as soloists, all with lyrics and music that delve into the depths of human emotion. Music, both secular and sacred in nature, has been influenced by this rich Romanticism ever since, including several mass settings featured in this program. The twenty-four professional Desert Chorale singers accompanied by piano bring to life a spectacular sampling from these giants of the Western classical tradition. Come and experience these vocal masterworks of the 19th and 20th centuries like you’ve never heard them before.
