As the busy noise of the day subsides, the night time brings a variety of musical colors and styles: lullabyes, celebrations, religious vigils, and the musical sounds of nature.  The program features works by modern composers Samuel Barber and Gweneth Walker as well as by masters Rachmaninoff and Mozart.  Special guests will be the Lamar County Middle School chorus.

A Griffin-area tradition, this year’s program again includes audience carols with brass, organ and percussion, and seasonal classics old and new.  The featured work is the “Collegium Regale” setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by British composer Herbert Howells.

Our Masterworks concert features Mozart’s “Coronation Mass,” Handel’s “Zadok the Priest,” and other selections fit for royalty!  Accompanied by a professional orchestra, this program continues our tradition of presenting great choral-orchestral music for our community.

The season concludes with a concert featuring beautiful, poetic choral settings with guitar accompaniment.  Tedesco’s Romancero Gitano (Gypsy Ballads) sets the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca; Jeffrey Van’s A Procession Winding Around Me uses the Four Civil War Poems by Walt Whitman.  The two composers use the guitar in very different ways to express the emotions in the texts.
