A Notable "First" for the Boise Master Chorale
A Newly Commissioned Work for Adults and Children by Paul Aitken
"And None Shall Be Afraid"
A Plea for Peace in Five Movements
The Boise Master Chorale has commissioned a new choral work from a well known local composer, Paul Aitken, which spreads the message of peace through children’s literature. The text in five movements pulls from antiquity, yet deals with the human capacity to still learn and grow. The various movements draw their themes from prayers in the Christian, Muslim, Native American, and Chinese traditions. The work is for soprano solo, children’s choir, adult choir, orchestra and organ.
The Boise Master Chorale will perform the world premiere of this new choral work. In addition to the commissioned work, the Master Chorale will perform the "Mass of the Children", by English composer John Rutter, for soprano, baritone, children's choir, adult choir and orchestra.
The Master Chorale will be joined by the Capitol City Children's Chorus, and by children from the Cathedral of the Rockies Children's Choir.
Performances will take place on April 3 at 7:30 PM at Swayne Auditorium, in the Brandt Center in Nampa and April 5 at 2 PM at the Cathedral of the Rockies in Boise.
The Master Chorale is delighted to have the opportunity to present these two works in our spring concert, and we hope that you will plan to join us. Season ticket holders will already have the privilege of attending, and for others:
