SPOLETO: Verdi Requiem 2005-2006:Previous Seasons:The CSO Chorus and Chamber Singers opened the 2004–2005 season with the third installment of the Choral Series’ Musica Sacra et Profana. The season next took selections from Handel’s Messiah “to the masses” with smaller choir performances at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Johns Island, at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Summerville (accompanied by high school choir members from the School of the Arts), and at the Wando H.S. Performing Arts Center in Mt. Pleasant. The second half of the season was kicked off with performances of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “HMS Pinafore” and “The Pirates of Penzance,” as well as a “Modern Mystics” performance by the Chamber Singers, which was later reprised for Piccolo Spoleto. Full choir performances of “World Favorite Opera Choruses” and the Brahms Ein Deutches Requiem (in conjunction with the Westmister Choir during Spoleto Festival USA) concluded the season. In the 2003–2004 season, the chorus performed Masterworks presentations of Bernstein’s Kaddish Symphony, Handel’s full Messiah, and Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. The Chamber Singers premiered the works of a number of contemporary composers, with several of the composers present at the concerts in March and at Piccolo Spoleto 2004. The CSO Chorus finished out the season by joining the Westminster Choir once again for a Spoleto Festival rendition of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem. The CSO Chorus inaugurated the CSO Choral Series in the 2002–2003 season with CSO Masterworks performances that included Brahms Ein Deutches Requiem and the Mozart Mass in C Minor, K 427; the 25th Annual Holiday Pops Concerts; and a special Choral Series concert featuring Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music and Dona Nobis Pacem. The CSO Chorus concluded the season by once again joining Dr. Joseph Flummerfelt and the Westminster Choir for a Spoleto Festival USA concert, singing Verdi’s Te deum and Stabat mater. The Chamber Singers were featured in four concerts this season, performing Gabrieli’s Motet for brass and chorus, Corigliano’s Fern Hill, and the Bach Cantata; Trevor Weston, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis; the Paulus Mass and Vaughan Williams’ Flos Campi (as part of the Piccolo Spoleto Festival); and Mozart’s Coronation Mass. In the 2001–2002 season the Chorus performed a demanding schedule which included the Berlioz Requiem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, Handel’s Messiah, the annual Holiday Concerts, the Durufle Requiem, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, and Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms with the Westminster Choir in Spoleto Festival USA. In addition, the Chamber Singers presented two concerts, including a performance of Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna with orchestra, plus two performances of Schubert’s Mass in G in liturgical settings. Success of the Chorus’s efforts led to the establishment of an annual Choral Series by the CSO. In addition, you can read performance reviews for concerts in each of these seasons. |
