Love Songs are in the air in West Seattle

Chorale from the University of Puget Sound to perform concert in West Seattle

The Chorale from the University of Puget Sound, directed by Dr. Anne Lyman, is proud to present LOVE SONGS at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church in West Seattle.

LOVE SONGS features a variety of choral works from all periods. The program opens with Thomas Tallis’s immortal If Ye Love Me, a tender anthem from sixteenth-century England. Erev Shel Shoshanim, a Hebrew love song about an evening garden in bloom, is based on a dance song popular throughout the Middle East. Young love is emphasized in Dello Joio’s Come to Me, My Love, followed by maternal love in Eric Whitacre’s A Seal Lullaby. The choral portion of the concert closes with upbeat pieces such as selections from Brahms’s Liebeslieder Waltzes and Alfven’s folk tune, A Maiden is in a Ring Now. The concert also features a variety of student soloists performing on piano.

Open to the entire University of Puget Sound community, Chorale is a non-auditioned mixed ensemble that meets twice weekly. Through repertoire drawn from a multiplicity of style periods and genres including world choral music, members establish a musical foundation of vocal technique, music theory, and sight singing. Dr. Anne Lyman is conductor of choirs at University of Puget Sound, Artistic Director of the Seattle Bach Choir, and is founder and director of CANONICI: Consort of Voices. She is available for an interview and can be reached at 253-720-5359 or at alyman@pugetsound.edu.
