"Remeberance" by Skylark Vocal Ensemble
To close this grammy nominated vocal group's 2018-19 season, Skylark will offer Remembrance, a beautiful tribute to America’s fallen heroes, with music taken from times of conflict over our nation’s history this Memorial Day Weekend.
Beginning with gritty revolutionary hymns of William Billings, and carrying through popular folk tunes and bluegrass music of the 20th and 21st centuries, Skylark’s signature programming is sure to appeal to a broad audience.
The program includes many well-known hymns, including Amazing Grace and the Navy Hymn, with stunning solos and pristine ensemble work, along with more recent compositions familiar to Skylark audiences: Elder’s beautiful Elegy, Kirchener’s Angel Band, and others. Skylark’s closing set will include Take him Earth, for Cherishing written by British composer Herbert Howells to commemorate American President John F. Kennedy.
