Join the CU Singers for their spring concert at the Brooks Center on Thursday, April 18 at 8 pm as they present a program ranging from High Renaissance music to African-American spirituals in preparation for their concert tour of Italy in May.

Clemson’s elite mixed-voice ensemble will begin with three pieces composed within the past century entitled “At the Round Earth’s Imagined Corners” by Williametta Spencer, “In Peace and Joy” by James Fritschel, and “All That Hath Life & Breath Praise Ye the Lord!” by Rene Clausen.

The evening moves on to give the audience a taste of the Renaissance period with pieces such as “Haec Dies” and “Ave Verum Corpus” by William Byrd and “Super flumina Babylonis” by G.P. da Palestrina. Two modern settings of German chorales will then follow.

The performance concludes with a few spirituals and folksongs such as “Abide With Me” by William H. Monk and “Saints Bound for Heaven” arranged by Alice Parker and Robert Shaw, just to name a few.
