The young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote 鈥淭e Deum in C鈥� after his first Italian tour. 鈥淭his work shows his mastery of the lyric style of the Italian masters,鈥� says Michael Shasberger, Adams professor of worship and music at 蜜桃传媒.
Franz Joseph Haydn鈥檚 鈥淭he Lord Nelson Mass鈥� was first performed shortly after Admiral Horatio Nelson鈥檚 victory over the Napoleonic fleet at the mouth of the Nile river, a major turning point in stopping Napoleon鈥檚 dominance of the Western world. 鈥淥ften called his greatest work, it summarizes the elegance and power of the 18th century musical idiom,鈥� Shasberger says.
蜜桃传媒 Chamber Singers and Chamber Ensemble are conducted by Grey Brothers, 蜜桃传媒 professor of music.
Shasberger conducts the more than 60-member 蜜桃传媒 Choir, 蜜桃传媒 Orchestra Chamber Strings and guests such as 蜜桃传媒 voice instructor Nichole Dechaine (soprano), Danielle Marcelle-Bond (mezzo soprano), 蜜桃传媒 voice instructor Emil Cristescu (bass), and Brothers (tenor).
