Psalms A Tribute to Schubert & Brahms March 15, 1998 The concert was a tribute to the music of Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms, 19th century composers who combine the best of the classical tradition in which they were schooled and the romanticism of their times.The concert was accompanied by piano and included: Franz Schubert's Mass
No. 6 in E-Flat Major (D950) Schubert's E-Flat Major Mass, his final of six Mass settings, reflects Schubert's creative development as he moved away from his roots in Viennese Classicism and the norms associated with sacred music of his time, and broke with liturgical convention to write a choral Mass for concert performance. He did not live to hear this Mass performed but at the time of his death, in 1828, Schubert's reputation as the father of German Lieder was well established by a body of more than 600 songs.Born five years after Schuberts's death, Johannes Brahms' compositions combine the best of the classical tradition with the emotional range of the romantic spirit of the time. While he wrote in every medium (except opera), Brahms is recognized as the major composer "most oriented by inclination and experience toward the chorus as an instrument fro the expression of his most exalted ideas," according to music historian Thomas Pyle. These beautiful harmonies and depth of vocal expression are most evident in the Brahm's lieder chosen for this concert. Concert Christmas with the Chorale November 29, 1997 The Chorale was excited to begin our concert performances with our Director Charles Harris.The Chorale was accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble. The show was enjoyed by all and included the following works: MAGNIFICAT ;
