For the Fall/Winter term, WCS is concentrating on the works of women composers - with the major piece being, "She Sang the Stars" by Sarah Quartel, which views the stages of womanhood through the Kalevala, a Finnish epic. We also look forward to sharing with our audience: "Ave Generosa" by Hildegard of Bingen (one of the first identified female composers); "And Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou/Rosephanye Powell; "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" by Cathy Winter/Betsy Rose/Marcia Taylor; "Let the River Run" by Carly Simon; "Measure Me Sky" by Elaine Hagenberg; and, "The Moon is Distant from the Sea" words by Emily Dickinson.
As a souvenir and encore for those who participated in and attended the Oregon Bach Festival's Community Sing with Composer/OBF Artist-In-Residence, Eric Whitacre, we will also be performing his choral composition, "Sing Gently".
