Heritage Chorale Fall Concert: Folksongs, Carols, and Lullabies. Join us November 19th for a concert of charming melodies, witty poetry, humorous or poignant story-lines that make these folksongs and lullabies everlasting gems. You’ll be wonderfully surprised by the unique sound of chorus, guitar, harp, and marimba. Experience a little of the southwest right here in Southborough.
Gustav Holst’s Six Choral Folksongs presents a wide range of character and emotion — from hauntingly poignant (“I Love My Love”) to robust ("Swansea Town"). Contemporary British composer Cecilia McDowall introduces listeners to love and courtship, flavored with both swagger and lyricism. Arranged for chorus and harp accompaniment, A Fancy of Folksongsinvites us to joyfully celebrate youthful love. Christmas carols, with their singable, memorable melodies and narrative texts, are much like folksongs. American composer Conrad Susa’s Carols and Lullabies is a collection of Spanish, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Catalonian carols, all popular in the American Southwest. His delicate scoring of the accompaniment calls for harp, guitar, and marimba, to create a magical texture over which the carol melodies sparkle and dance.
The Heritage Chorale, conducted by renowned Boston-area music director John Finney, is a nonprofit organization of accomplished singers dedicated to performing high quality choral music. We are committed to standards of excellence in our rehearsals and performances, and seek to inspire in ourselves and our Metrowest audience a greater love of music and community.
