Arts and Music at Redeemer

Maundy Thursday:

The choir will sing a haunting setting of Psalm 78 by Seattle composer Peter Hallock, and two settings of Canticle N, “A Song of God’s Love”.

Good Friday:

The gentlemen of the choir will sing a close-harmony arrangement of “Were You There” by noted African American composer/arranger H. T. Burleigh.

The Great Paschal Vigil:

Festive Easter music by the choir, and guest trumpeter Judson Jay Scott will perform solos by Hovhanness and Telemann.

The Sunday of the Resurrection:

• Two solos from Handel’s Messiah:
• “I know that my Redeemer liveth”, with soprano Christina Siemens
• “The trumpet shall sound”, with baritone Glenn Guhr and Judson Jay Scott, trumpet
• Also, the choir will sing one of Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs, and organist Sheila Bristow will provide a festive prelude by J. S. Bach.

The Arts Committee is hard at work making the altarpiece for Pascha, also known as Easter. As always, it will be cut paper - though this year, colored tissue paper will be an element.
