William Shakespeare used music as the source of songs, metaphors and
dramatic devices throughout his plays and poetry, making his own music with
his words. In turn, his vibrant writings have inspired composers ever since
to endeavor to catch that elusive energy in a melodic net of their own. This
concert brings together musical settings authored over the last 60 years,
from Ralph Vaughn Williams and Dominick Argento to David Willcocks, Robert
Washburn and and a world premiere from BMC director Mark Hardy.
The Chamber Singers from the Baltimore School for the Arts will be featured
in Vaughn Williams' "Serenade to Music". The Chorale and their guests, aided by
narrator Dennis Edwards of WJZ-TV, will bring you the Bard's familiar words
in a fresh and vivid way. |
