Additionally, the program encompasses a mix of sacred and secular songs that cross the centuries from the European and North American continents.
The program includes 18th-century psalm settings by historic Vermont figures such as Justin Morgan and Elisha West, researched and brought to light by Professor Chapman. Other works from well-known composers such as William Byrd, Heinrich Schütz, Johannes Brahms, Josef Rheinberger, Maurice Duruflé, Charles Villiers Stanford, Francis Poulenc, Samuel Barber, Relly Raffman, Robert Baksa, Will Todd, and Randall Thompson using texts from church traditions, theater and romance, and the natural world will be offered.
