Andrews University Choirs: Easter Tenebrae

“From Darkness Into Light”is the theme of the annual Easter choral concert held in the Howard Performing Arts Center on March 29, beginning at 7 p.m.  As a restructured Tenebrae Service, the concert narrative of “From Darkness Into Light” is portrayed through a select sequence of musical repertoires that contrast songs of introspection with jubilant expressions of praise.  的 program begins with Craig Courtney’s poignant setting of A Better Resurrection by poet Christina Rossetti, and it is immediately followed by Johann Sebastian Bach’s Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten (“Ring forth, o songs, resound, you strings!”).

的 contrast in emotions and musical styles from one piece to the other continues throughout the concert, concluding with 汤姆Trenney’s arrangement of Kathleen Thomerson’s hymn: I Want to Walk As a Child of the Light.  的 centerpiece of the concert is 伊莱恩Hagenberg’s multi-movement work Illuminare; a multi-movement composition that express splendor, 爱, 黑暗, melodic tenderness, 和光辉.  的 concert presentation of Illuminare is a Michiana premiere performance conducted by 西里尔Punay.   Mr. Punay is the assistant choral director during professor Stephen Zork’s spring semester sabbatical. 

的 Andrews University Singers & University Chorale are pleased to collaborate with members of the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra (Dr. Marc Elysée, conductor) for the presentation “From Darkness into Light”.  西里尔Punay is aided by his graduate choral conducting colleagues –  Nicole Neugebauer, 詹妮尔多布森, and Jahaziel Gutierrez.
