Houston Chamber Choir will look to our friends from the animal kingdom for this concert that opens with a rousing spiritual arrangement performed by the Men’s Ensemble from South Main Baptist Church, followed by Britten’s sublime “Rejoice in the Lamb.” Kevn Puts’ beautiful “If I Were a Swan” is then paired with R. Murray Shafer’s “Medieval Bestiary,” a clever setting of 12th-century texts that attempt to draw connections between the characteristics of God and various animals, real and imagined.
The concert will feature the world premiere of the first installment of Houston Seasons - Autumn by Houston composer Daniel Knaggs and Houston poet Devondra Banks Brown. It will close with a romp, “All God’s Creatures Got a Place in the Choir.”
