Join the Una Voce Chamber Choir as they present music by contemporary
composers in their expressions of ancient texts often sung in
traditional Anglican orders of worship. Mark your calendar for "
Evensong" on Saturday, January 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 26
at 2.30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 1 Middle Street,
Brunswick, Maine. "Evensong," adapted from the traditional Anglican
service of prayers and praise at days end, presents living composers
who give new voices to timeless liturgies. Meditations are sung in
prayer, in praise, in love both divine and human. A few highlights are
the 16th Century poetry of St John of the Cross composed by Tarik
ORegan (b. 1978), a chant-like Lords Prayer in ancient Aramaic (the
language of Jesus) by Ilyas Iliya (b. 1963), St. Augustines 4th
Century Evening Prayer for voices and jazz duo by Ola Gjeilo (b.
1978), and the Virgin Marys praise to God in Magnificat by Imant
Raminsh (b.1943). Founded in the fall of 2018, Una Voce Chamber Choir
traces its origins to the critically acclaimed Vox Nova Chamber Choir,
which concluded its ninth concert season in June, 2018. Directed by
Virgil Bozeman IV, Una Voce Chamber Choir debuted to critical acclaim
in its 2019 premiere season.
