Draw On, Sweet Night
As the days shorten, we celebrate the onset of autumn. Renaissance madrigals
mingle with selections from Randall Thompson’s Frostiana. Lili Boulanger’s haunting Soir sur la
plaine accompanies Eric Whitacre’s delicate Sleep. The vigor of György Ligeti and light heart of
Henk Badings recall the joyful aspects of nightfall. Brahms and Barber round out the program.
