Better Day A Comin': Songs of Hope from the Gospel and Spiritual Traditions
We invite you to join us in this uplifting and exciting concert experience as we celebrate an essential component of our uniquely American musical canon with works from African-American and Appalachian roots, including spirituals that often served as veiled forms of socioeconomic protest, rousing gospel favorites, and other traditional expressions of faith and hope.
Featuring works by Dawson, Burleigh, & Hogan.
Prothalamia “Prothalamia” is a Latin term for songs or odes composed for a wedding. Adding a classical music voice to the politically-charged issue of marriage and civil partnerships for all, the Empire City Men’s Chorus invites you to the world premiere of our newly-commissioned choral work on the subject of marriage equality. Come hear this groundbreaking and substantial composition, meet its award-winning composers Charles Norman Mason and Dorothy Hindman, and reflect artistically with us on marriage and what it means to individuals and society.
In addition, the chorus will also perform works from Heitor Villa-Lobos, Claude-Michel Schönberg, Morten Lauridsen, and Randall Thompson.
