Join us as we sing Whitacre's Alleluia (originally October), Barber's Agnus Dei (Adagio for Strings), Holst's I Vow to Thee My Country (Jupiter Hymn), Sibelius' This is My Song (Finlandia), and other familiar works. We'll recreate battle sounds in Jannequin's La Guerre, and eventually do away with words completely in Chorale Without Words by Portland's own Tomas Svoboda, and with movements from Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, featuring our accompanist Jennifer Creek Hughes
