Description

Bay Choral Guild, directed by Sanford Dole, presents French Choral Music with Organ and Piano.

Maurice Duruflé’s transcendent Requiem highlights our exploration of French Choral music. We also feature works by Fauré, Boulanger, Saint-Saens and Debussy, all masters of the French choral tradition. From the glorious simplicity, elegance and subtlety of Fauré’s “Cantique de Jean Racine” to Lili Boulanger’s luminous “Hymne au Soleil” and Debussy’s expressive “Trois Chansons”, our program will transport and enchant you.

Requiem - Maurice Duruflé
Cantique de Jean Racine - Gabriel Fauré
Hymne au Soleil - Lili Boulanger
Chansons - Saint-Saens, Fauré, Debussy

Also featuring organ solos by T.Paul Rosas:
Litanies - Jehan Alain
Alleluias sereins d’une âme qui désire le ciel - Olivier Messiaen
(Serene Alleluias from a soul longing for Heaven) from L’Ascension - Quatre Méditations symphoniques

Join us for our pre-concert lectures 30 minutes prior to each performance.
