The fall concert of the CCSF Masterworks Chorale will be at 7 p.m., Thurs., Dec. 12, 2019, in the Rosenberg Library at the Ocean Ave. campus of the City College of San Francisco. Admission is free.
Focusing on works in English by American and British composers, major works include Benjamin Britten’s “Rejoice in the Lamb,” and William Byrd’s “O Magnum Mysterium.”
Also on the program is “helves surling,” a fascinating but little-heard work by Bay Area composer David Ahlstrom, with lyrics by poet E. E. Cummings. Another Bay Area composer, Randal Collen, will be represented by his jazz-inflected work “The Teaching.”
In addition, there will be shorter works by Charles Ives, Edward Elgar, and William Billings, along with seasonal music celebrating both Hanukah and Christmas.
