On March 8 all four major Oklahoma City University choirs joined to perform their Spring Choral Concert at the OCU Chapel.
The University Chamber Choir, Ad Astra, University Chorale, and University Singers were directed by Dr. Randi Ellefson and Professor Tony Gonzalez. The choirs performed music from the Baroque era to the 21st century.
One of the songs featured in the concert was “Zadok the Priest,” which is a song composed by George Frideric Handel that has been sung before the coronation of every British monarch since it was written.
Another major piece that was performed was “The Snow,” by Edward Elgar, a romantic era song that was composed for a piano, two violins, and treble voices.
The Chamber Choir performed, “Rejoice in the Lamb,” which is a well-known piece by Benjamin Bitters. Soloists were accompanied by university organist Dr. Melissa Plamann.
Other pieces performed were by Heinrich Schutz, George Friderich Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Johannes Brahms, and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
