The Arizona Repertory Singers present a performance of musical and poetic beauty inspired by celestial skies. Selections feature compositions spanning six centuries from Renaissance to current contemporary, including instrumental accompaniment on piano, recorder and djembe (percussion instrument). O Schöne Nacht by Johannes Brahms speaks to the romance of the night, and Adolphus Hailstork’s Nocturne envisions the beauty of a summer night with ethereal musical elements. Sarah Quartel’s Sing, my Child offers dance-like mixed meter led by soloists and a choral arrangement of Dolly Parton’s Light of a Clear Blue Morning features the hope and inspiration of the sun as dawn brightens the morning sky. This performance wouldn’t be complete without two lyrical pieces by the well-known contemporary composer, Eric Whitacre, that have captivated international listeners for decades: Sleep and The Seal Lullaby, featuring poetry by renowned poet, Rudyard Kipling.
