2018 spring
chorus conceit
BC Choir takes the stage
By Carmen Boone

On Saturday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m., the Brevard
College Concert Choir and Chamber Singers put
on their 2018 Spring Choral Concert in Scott
Concert Hall in the Porter Center.
Conducted by David and accompanied on
piano by Vance Reese, the concert consisted of
three portions. They were: “Procession, Pleas
for Mercy, and Transcendence.” All of these
deal with death and reactions to it.
The “Procession” portion consisted of three
pieces of music. The first was “In Paradisum.”
It translates to “May the angels lead you into
paradise;” meaning upon death. The second
piece was “En Ego Campana,” which mimics
the ringing of bells. The third piece was “Pa
Se Slis,” performed by Chamber Singers. It
translates to hearing the tune of bells.
The second portion of the concert, “Pleas
for Mercy,” consisted of six movements of
“Miserere Mei.” All were sung by Chamber.
They were in this order: “Miserere I, Miserere
II, Gloria I, with a solo from Sydney Windham,
Gloria II, Sicut Erat, and Miserere III.” The
“Misereres” are pleads to God for mercy. The
“Glorias” are praises to God. The next piece
was “Come Away, Come Away, Death,” also
performed by Chamber. Concert Choir then
joined the stage again for “He Will Not Come
Again.” The last piece in portion two was titled
“Requiem.”
The third portion, “Transcendence,” consisted
of seven songs. The first was a celebratory “In
Paradisum, from Requiem in d minor.” The next
was “Death Shall Not Destroy My Comfort,”
directed by Natalee Highman. Third was “Tears,
from From an Unknown Past,” conducted by
Chris Center. After that came “Pilgrim’s Song,”
then “Bright Morning Stars.” The next to last
piece was “My Good Lord’s Done Been Here,”
with solos by Anthony Zuniga and K’nique
Eichelberger. The last song on the concert was
an upbeat “Ipharadisi.”
It translates to, “In paradise, where all the
dead are living may we one day join them all
there.” The 2018 Spring Choral Concert was
a definite success. It made you feel a range of
emotions, moving from grief in death, to begging
for mercy, to peace with death, metaphorically
speaking of course.
