The Aurora Chamber Singers presents its spring concert “By the Still Water,” under the direction of guest conductor, Jeff Rehbach.
The program features choral works in varied styles by composers from the Baroque through the early Romantic eras, including Monteverdi, Rameau, Durante, Bach, Reicha, Schubert, and Mendelssohn. They will perform a mix of a cappella works and those accompanied by strings with organ and piano.
"Our program presents music from nearly four hundred years ago to the present,” says maestro Rehbach. “With historic Psalms, poetry and other texts from Renaissance times to the present, we give voice to longing for quiet, inspiration, fulfillment, and joy. Our songs share concern for all, celebration and praise, care for our world, and hope for peace."
Vermont premieres include three fugues for string quartet and chorus by Anton Reicha (a contemporary of Beethoven); a work for chorus and piano from the late 19th century by American composer Amy Cheney Beach; and a cappella choral music by 20th-century British viola virtuoso and composer Rebecca Clarke. The concert is honored to offer the world premiere Make of your house a house of peace by Vermont composer and Aurora Chamber Singer Maarten van Ryckevorsel.
