Description

Chapel Music is a work of celebration to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Alice Millar Chapel and Religious Center at Northwestern University. The texts are drawn from a variety of religious and secular sources. The work opens with a processional, with the sopranos leading the chorus through the hall to the stage. A brass quintet is positioned offstage throughout the piece before rejoining the orchestra in the final movement. Singers perform various percussive roles, including the use of clapping, hand bells, tambourines and maracas.
