SPRINGFIELD SYMPHONY: An American Hymn

Event details

Jessie Montgomery – Starburst
Bernstein – Chichester Psalms (Combined University Choirs)
Copland – Appalachian Spring Ballet

An American Hymn brings sacred music to the concert hall in an evening of religious works by great American composers that invite reflection on the sacred and holy. The program features American composer Leonard Bernstein's moving setting of psalms in his choral masterwork Chichester Psalms. Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring features the delicate beauty of the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts as its central theme in a uniquely American sacred song, and contemporary American composer Jessie Montgomery's Starburst offers a sparkling fanfare reflecting the great cosmos to round out this evening of contemplative and spiritual music.
