About

Under the direction of Andrew Crow and Kerry Glann, the Ball State Choirs present a series of concerts each year featuring a wide range of music from around the world and across the centuries.

The Ball State University Chamber Choir is the university’s most prestigious concert choir, typically comprising 32 singers: mostly upper-level music majors and graduate students. The Concert Choir is a select ensemble open to students of all disciplines by audition.

Program

The program is themed around nature and finding hope, peace, and joy. The concert will feature several selections of South African music as a nod to the November concert from guest artists Soweto Gospel Choir.

Chamber Choir

Featuring composers Jake Runestad and Zanaida Stewart Robles. Chamber Choir will also perform a student composition called “The Glade” by Theodore Hicks, who is completing his doctoral studies this semester!

Concert Choir

Music by Ola Gjielo, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (honoring the 500th anniversary of his birth), Felix Mendelssohn, Jake Runestad, Melissa Dunphy, and Thabo Matshego.

Palestrina’s “Sicut cervus” and Mendelssohn’s “Wie der Hirsch schreit” form a coupling as settings of the same Psalm text (Ps 42, Like as the hart desireth the waterbrook…) in different languages and composed across a time span of roughly 250 years.

The Melissa Dunphy piece “I Took a Walk with Joy” featuring poetry by alum Mark A. Boyle.

Connecting to the campus visit of the Soweto Gospel Choir in November, Concert Choir will present Matshego’s “Ukholo lwami,” an arrangement of two traditional South African gospel songs.
