Description

The final performance in the 2022-23 Tulsa Chorale season features a cappella choral singing and choral pieces accompanied by piano – all with the theme of spring. The first half of the concert is a set of unaccompanied choral pieces, including settings by Edwin Fissinger, Eric Whitacre and Alice Parker. The centerpiece is the lovely Robert Schumann’s Ziegeunerleben – a "Gypsy’s life" – which begins the final set accompanied by piano. Selections in the accompanied section include pieces by Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland and Elaine Hagenberg. The final composition is the lovely A Jubilant Song – a tour-de-force choral/piano piece by Norman Dello Joio. The concert features four compositions by female composers, and accompanied pieces are played by Cathy Venable, pianist.
