Talented singers from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chamber singers will be performing a variety of sacred, spiritual and traditional songs for mixed voices.
The UTC Chattanooga Singers is a concert choir of male and female voices that performs a wide variety of music from a cappella works to major works with full orchestra. They have a long tradition of performing in the Chattanooga area, throughout the United States, and abroad. Dr. Kevin Ford is the current director, and the membership is open to students of all majors through audition. The repertoire for the upcoming concert by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chamber Singers showcases a rich blend of sacred, spiritual and traditional music, reflecting both Irish and international influences.
The programme includes works such as "Justorum animae" by C. V. Stanford, and "Ava Maria" composed by Seamas de Barra. Colin Mawby's "Alleluia, Christus Resurrexit" and Fiontán Ó Cearbhaill's "Suantraí ár Slánaitheora" add further depth, while the 14th-century "Prophetarum Presignata" from the Dublin Troper highlights the choir's appreciation for historical music. Contemporary pieces are also featured, including Michael McGlynn's "An Oiche (The Night)", Ethan McGrath's "Prayer of St. Patrick", and Spencer Wiles' "The Walking on the Water". Eleanor Daley's "Set Me As A Seal" appears twice, demonstrating its popularity. The concert concludes with cherished hymns and spirituals, such as "Be Thou My Vision", "In Bright Mansions Above", and "Oh you must have that true religion". This diverse selection promises an engaging experience, blending classical choral works with Irish melodies and spiritual songs, under the direction of Dr. Kevin Ford.
