This is great news. My old choir, Chicago Choral Artists, has need of another Bass2. So, they sent an e-mail my way and it looks like I can fit in enough rehearsals to warrant my presence in the choir. Huzzah!
Here's the program:
C.V. Stanford: Beati Quorum Via
William Byrd: O Salutaris Hostia
Henry Purcell: Hear my Prayer, O Lord
Thomas Tallis: Salvator Mundi
C.V. Stanford: 8 Partsongs, Op. 119 –The blue bird
Benjamin Britten: 5 Flower Songs, Op. 47 –The Evening Primrose
Gustav Holst: Choral Folk Songs Op. 36B –I Love my Love
Edward Bairstow: I Sat Down under His Shadow
Vaughan Williams: Loch Lomond
Herbert Howells: Coventry Antiphon
Edgar Bainton: And I Saw a New Heaven
Vaughan Williams: Valiant-for-Truth
Benjamin Britten: Festival Te Deum, op 32
Ah...I love it.
