Voci Women's Vocal Ensemble will feature Calloway songs
Voci Women's Vocal Ensemble will appear on May 15 and 21 in two performances of a concert on the theme of Traces of a Vanishing World, featuring Composer Ann Callaway's recently-completed ON MUSIC AND NATURE: Three Hopkins Settings, for SSAA choir and piano.
This 14-minute work treats three amazing poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins: "Henry Purcell," "Moonrise June 19, 1876," and "The Woodlark." The composer says about the piece that “ Hopkins the poet may have vanished, yet his art lives on to celebrate, in turn, the uniqueness of Purcell, the moonrise on a particular ‘midsummer not-to-call night,’ and finally a little puff of feathered joy which is the Woodlark.”
Also on the program are songs about forgotten ways of life, including daily aspects of bygone lives, by Bach, Brahms, Holst, Ligeti, Macha, Morely, Purcell, Takacs, Gwyneth Walker and Alice Parker.
Anne Hege is the music director of Voci, accompanied by Kate Campbell on piano.
