"Magnificat" - Winter 2010 concert series

Progam Highlights: Arrangements of festive holiday fare; a triptych of Magnificats by Javier Busto, Paul Chihara, and Ralph Vaughan Williams; "The Jumblies" (world premiere) by Judith Shatin

With spirit soaring, the PWC welcomes the winter season. An exuberant North-American Eclectic Mass leads to a glowing triptych of Magnificat settings, featuring the ethereal intertwining of flute and piano in the Vaughan Williams and a crossroads of Japanese color, Gregorian chant, and early modern Western influences in the Chihara. The haunting "Lauliku lapespõli" by Veljo Tormis, inspired by the composer's childhood memories of learning to sing, heralds the release of PWC's new CD, Nature Pictures.
