SUMMARY:Songs of the Americas
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Summer Festival is sponsored by an Anonymous Donor\nProgram sponsored by Suzanne M. Timble\nJoshua Habermann\, conductor sponsored by Carmen Paradis and Brian McGrath\nEmbark on a musical expedition as sixteen professional Desert Chorale artists accompanied by chamber orchestra and percussion explore the rich heritage of 17th and 18th century music from North and South America. Experience the toe-tapping melodies and soul-stirring harmonies of works by Latin American Baroque composers. Then\, return to the present with selections from the modern Mass of the Americas by Frank La Rocca\, in which he melds together “tones of Western church music with those of traditional Mexican folk songs.” Debuted in 2018\, this “cornerstone of modern liturgical composition” (Mark Nowakowski) incorporates texts in Spanish\, Latin\, and Nahuatl (the indigenous language of the Aztecs).

SUMMARY:The Ecstasies Above
DESCRIPTION:Program sponsored by Suzanne Timble\nJoshua Habermann\, conductor sponsored by Carmen Paradis and Brian McGrath\nThis program features two virtuosic works for strings and voices from English composers George Frideric Handel and Tarik O’Regan\, whose Triptych the Chorale performed in 2017. First\, Dixit Dominus showcases Handel as his most Italianate\, with florid decoration and rhythmic drive. We then continue into O’Regan’s work\, The Ecstasies Above\, which is a setting of Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “Israfel\,” describing an angel whose “heart strings are a lute\, and who possesses the sweetest voice of all God’s creatures.” A double string quartet and organ join the entire Desert Chorale for this masterful program.

SUMMARY:The Ecstasies Above
DESCRIPTION:Program sponsored by Suzanne Timble\n\nConcert sponsored by Sara J. McKenzie\nJoshua Habermann\, conductor\, sponsored by Carmen Paradis and Brian McGrath\nThis program features two virtuosic works for strings and voices from English composers George Frideric Handel and Tarik O’Regan\, whose Triptych the Chorale performed in 2017. First\, Dixit Dominus showcases Handel as his most Italianate\, with florid decoration and rhythmic drive. We then continue into O’Regan’s work\, The Ecstasies Above\, which is a setting of Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “Israfel\,” describing an angel whose “heart strings are a lute\, and who possesses the sweetest voice of all God’s creatures.” A double string quartet and organ join the entire Desert Chorale for this masterful program.
