The Baylor University Women’s Choir will perform a concert on Thursday, October 28, beginning at 8:00 p.m. in Jones Concert Hall, located within the Glennis McCrary Music Building. The conductor of this splendid choral ensemble is Lecturer in Choral Music Stephen Gusukuma.
The Women’s Choir will open its concert with an arrangement of “Kaval Smiri” (“A Kaval Plays”) by Bulgarian composer Petar Liondev.
Next will come “Joy” by Kathleen Allan, an uplifting and lyrical setting of Sara Teasdale’s poem by that name.
Also to be heard is the Drew Collins transcription of Hildegard von Bingen’s “O frondens virga” (“O, verdant branch”).
The Women’s Choir will sing Will Todd’s arrangement of Psalm 23, “The Lord Is My Shepherd.”
Composer Gwyneth Walker’s “i thank you God” is a setting of poetry by e. e. cummings that reads, in part, “i who have died am alive again today.”
Closing the program will be Red Molly’s arrangement of “May I Suggest” by Susan Werner. Its central, recurring theme is: “May I suggest this is the best part of your life?”
This concert is free of charge and open to the public. It is also available for livestreaming at baylor.edu/music/live.
