BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� The 欧美视频 Concert Choir and the Bolivar Community Choir will be joined by the Ozark High School Varsity Singers as they present 鈥淔or a Breath of Ecstasy鈥� by Michael John Trotta at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 13, in Pike Auditorium on the Bolivar campus.
鈥淔or a Breath of Ecstasy鈥� is a collection of poems by Sara Teasdale and is scored
for SATB Chorus, oboe and string quartet. However, a small orchestra of string players
will perform, instead of the originally scored string quartet, due to the large number
of singers in the combined choirs.
The Bolivar and 欧美视频 choirs will then perform 鈥淕ospel Mass鈥� by Robert Ray. 鈥淕ospel
Mass鈥� is an English setting of the traditional Latin Mass including all six traditional
movements including: 鈥淜yrie,鈥� 鈥淕loria,鈥� 鈥淐redo,鈥� 鈥淎cclamation,鈥� 鈥淪anctus鈥� and 鈥淎gnus
Dei.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 very excited about the opportunity to provide an audience with two very different
works and subject matters,鈥� said Dr. Andrew Campbell, associate professor of music.
鈥溾�楩or a Breath of Ecstasy鈥� draws from texts that speak heavily of love. Sara Teasdale鈥檚
texts are quite moving and the musical setting of Trotta compliments her beautiful
work. The energy and excitement of the 鈥楪ospel Mass鈥� will move you to want to stand
up and make a joyful noise.鈥�
The concert is free and open to the public.
