Chronos in rehearsal:
Working through another major work on the program for Uplifted: Gregorio Allegri's setting of Psalm 51 "Miserere mei, Deus"
Written in the 17th century in an already ancient style reserved for use in the Sistene Chapel, the work is a beautiful complex polyphonic antiphonal setting featuring a quartet of soloists.
Come enjoy the full irl 'surround sound' experience in person on Saturday, February 7 at 7:30 in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton

Chronos in Rehearsal:
Rehearsing for Uplifted, the closing moments of Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei. Another piece on the program that was initially conceived as an instrumental work, Barber wrote this string quartet in 1936.
Performed often and strongly associated with elegiac mourning Barber added the text in 1967, bringing to the surface the work’s inherent sense of spirituality.
Join us for the rest on Saturday Feb 7 at 7:30 in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton

Preparations for Uplifted are in their final stages, and it's going to be a great concert!
Here's a sneak peek at Chronos rehearsing Eric Whitacre's Alleluia, one of a trio of works on the program that feature music reworked from an instrumental piece to a sacred vocal work: Alleluia, Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei, and Zoltan Kodaly's Missa Brevis.
Join us to hear all three on Saturday, Feb 7 at 7:30 pm in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton!

Chronos Vocal Ensemble's next concert is just around the corner! Join us on the evening of Saturday February 7.
Uplifted draws inspiration from its setting: the magnificent, lofty sanctuary of All Saints Cathedral, perfectly suited for choral singing.
Uplifted draws inspiration from our collaborators: Cathedral organist Jeremy Spurgeon and the Canadian-built 1959 Casavant organ he plays.
Uplifted presents music that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to transcend darkness with music to uplift the soul in troubled times.
The program will include:
Missa Brevis by Kodaly - written and premiered in the dark closing days of WWII Budapest;
Samuel Barber's stunning Agnus Dei - sacred text added by the composer to his well-known Adagio for Strings;
Miserere mei, Deus by Allegri - written in the 17th century for exclusive use in the Sistene Chapel at the Vatican.
