American Renaissance

- Pre-concert lecture by MB Krueger - 6:30 pm on October 29th ONLY

This year we will focus on a Renaissance of a different sort – the blossoming of choral composition by American composers in the early 20th century, including many African American composers -- William Grant Still, Florence Price, Nathaniel Dett – as well as Amy Beach, Horatio Parker, Leo Sowerby, George Chadwick, and others.

A Christmas Oratorio
- Herzogenberg's "The Birth of Christ"
- Orchestra
- Featuring Joseph Gaines as the Evangelist!
- Johannes Brahms acknowledged only one student as a protégé worthy of his legacy, and that was Heinrich von Herzogenberg (1843-1900). In 1894, at the height of his powers, Herzogenberg composed a Christmas oratorio entitled Die Geburt Christi (The Birth of Christ) in a form redolent of a Bach Passion. These twin muses – Bach and Brahms – result in a work of unique power and beauty, performed in collaboration with members of the Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra. Preceding the oratorio will be a selection of favorite carol arrangements.

- Pre-concert lecture by Seth & Carol Ward
- St. Martin’s Chamber Choir’s initial foray into the realm of Jewish choral music proved to be a revelation to many of our audience. Repeating one or two highlights from that concert, St. Martin’s will again present a variety of sacred choral works from the Jewish tradition.

Songs of Pilgrimage
- Camino de Santiago
- Cameo Ensemble
- Reaction was so great to our 2019 concert using the Camino de Santiago as its inspiration that St. Martin’s has decided to record the repertoire of that concert as its next commercially released CD. In connection with the recording, the collection will be reprised in concert, doubtless delighting many who heard it before.
