SUMMARY:Commonwealth Chorale presents Community and Connection
DESCRIPTION:Community and Connection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday May 18\, 2025 at 4pm\nAaron Copland\, selections from Old American Songs\nNathaniel Dett\, The Chariot Jubilee\nAlice Parker\, folk song and spiritual arrangements\nFred VanNess\, tenor\nDavid McFerrin\, baritone\nwith chamber instrumental ensemble and pianoA Commonwealth Composer Concert \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExperience community and connection through the diversity of American folk songs! We can all connect on different levels with what folk songs are about: work and labor\, losing or gaining freedom\, personal and social tragedies\, joy and romance\, historical events and movements\, faith and spirituality\, social or political issues\, and the ups and downs of everyday life. Folk songs also provide connections across generations\, by celebrating cultural and ethnic heritages or inspiring social activists. The music of Copland\, Dett\, and Parker explores many of these themes. \nIn his Old American Songs Aaron Copland arranges American folk songs that feature the pioneer experience\, the vastness of America’s natural landscapes\, political commentary\, and the simple pleasure of entertaining children. Some consider his arrangements to be the characteristic sound of American music. \nNathaniel Dett’s significant and diverse musical legacy includes arrangements of African American spirituals. These arrangements fuse the simple\, profound messages of these uniquely American folk songs with the European romantic classical music tradition. Inspired by the spiritual Swing Low Sweet Chariot\, Dett’s The Chariot Jubileeexemplifies his blending of these two traditions. The interplay between the chorus and the tenor soloist\, along with the dynamic orchestration\, creates a powerful and uplifting musical experience celebrating our common humanity. \nThis season’s Commonwealth Composer is Alice Parker. In her many decades as a composer\, she composed a wide variety of music. However\, she is especially well known for her classic arrangements of American folk songs\, folk hymns\, and spirituals. Her love of family and community is reflected in these arrangements. As she told NewMusic USA\, “When we sing something perfectly lovely together … and it really clicks\, you have this marvelous feeling of brotherhood in the room. We are all human beings. We are all feeling this emotion together at the same time. And this is uniting us. We are not separate.” \nJoin us to experience music representing a rich mix of collective memory\, cultural identity\, and emotional expression\, reflecting the diverse and evolving narrative of American life. \n\n\nFred VanNess\, tenor \n\nDavid McFerrin\, baritone

SUMMARY:Commonwealth Chorale presents Fate and Earthly Pleasures
DESCRIPTION:Fate and Earthly Pleasures\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday March 8\, 2025 at 7 pm\nCarl Orff Carmina Burana\nAlexandra Henderson\, soprano\nMorgan Mastrangelo\, tenor\nNicholas Ottersberg Enriquez\, baritone\nIn collaboration with:\nRivers Symphony Orchestra\, Christopher Memoli\, conductor\nWellesley Middle School 6th Grade Treble Chorus\, Lauren Connors\, Director\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\nRegis College\nCasey Theater\n235 Wellesley St\, Weston\, MA\nMap\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe all enjoy having fun and we find it in many sources\, including music. We also know how chance impacts our lives. In both ancient philosophy and in Greek and Roman myths\, human fortunes\, good or bad\, were determined by the goddess of fate and her wheel of fortune. Inspired by the wheel of fortune\, Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana begins and ends with warnings about the twists of fate. But life goes on! So\, in between\, there are songs about earthly pleasures: the arrival of spring\, the joys and pains of romantic love\, raucous behavior\, lust and chastity\, gambling\, and satires aimed at the Catholic Church. Orff’s inspiration was 11th and 12th century poems discovered 600 years later in a monastic collection\, apparently written by university students studying to be priests!\n\nComposers find many ways to have or express fun with their music. Orff’s Carmina Burana is a favored example; it is an audio feast of playfulness\, especially when performed with orchestra! We are delighted to collaborate with the Rivers Symphony Orchestra and its conductor\, Christopher Memoli and with the Wellesley Middle School 6th Grade Treble Chorus (Lauren Connors\, Director). Together we will bring you the rare opportunity to hear Carmina Burana with a full orchestra and all the additional power\, drama\, and liveliness that the instruments bring to conveying the full sentiments of these medieval poems!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Artists\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexandra Henderson\nsoprano\n\n\n\n\nMorgan Mastrangelo\ntenor\n\n\n\n\nNicholas Ottersberg Enriquez\nbaritone

SUMMARY:Commonwealth Chorale Presents "Fate and Faith"
DESCRIPTION:In March\, we explore fate and faith through the richly expressive music of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel’s Lobgesang\, Johannes Brahms’s Schicksalslied\, and Felix\nMendelssohn’s Psalm 42. \nThe concert will be with Professional Orchestra.\nDana Lynne Varga\, Soprano Soloist\nConducted by Artistic Director Dr. Michael Driscoll \nGeneral Admission $40; Students $10; EBT/WIC Cards- Free at Door\nOpen Seating – Purchase tickets online at: https://events.humanitix.com/test-event-n66hoxj7\nmarketing@CommonwealthChorale.com 617-527-7464 \nABOUT THE CONCERT\nChoral music of the 19th century is well known for its melodic\, romantic and expressive elements\, often exploring themes of faith and fate. Our March concert provides a delicious feast from two of this period’s best known composers\, Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn\, and a third\, Fanny Mendelsshohn Hensel\, who but for the social mores of her day\, would likely be as well known. \nTo celebrate her son’s birth\, Hensel wrote Lobgesang using biblical texts to create a choral symphony celebrating spirituality and praising life. Given the hazards of child-birth in her time\, perhaps Hensel’s music also celebrates trust in fate and a leap of faith! Brahms’ much loved Schicksalslied is an elegant choral setting of a poem with the same name (Song of Destiny); it\, too\, explores the joys of human existence and the cruel whims of fate. Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 provides vivid visual and sensual imagery of a stag or deer\, likening its desire for fresh water to the soul’s need for God and encouraging the reader to have faith that God will provide. \nWhatever your religious or theological beliefs\, the rich harmonic textures\, expressive melodies\, and meticulous craftsmanship of these compositions\, with their balance of classical form and romantic sentiment\, will lift your spirits and feed your soul!
