Ridgewood Nj, Hubert Parry’s I Was Glad is a majestic and uplifting anthem, a beloved staple of British ceremonial music. Written for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902, the piece radiates joy, grandeur, and reverence with every soaring phrase.
Ars Musica Chorale launches its 2024-2025 season with I Was Glad: Music of 20th Century England.
This concert will feature works such as Serenade to Music by Vaughan Williams, Benjamin Britten’s Te Deum in C, Hubert Parry’s I Was Glad, and many of England’s greatest composers of the last hundred years. The concert will be accompanied by organ and will also feature organ solos. Please join us to hear the choir and beautiful organ at Bethlehem Lutheran Church!
Founded in 1965 by conductor Joyce Keshner, Ars Musica Chorale has presented more than 50 years of great choral music in northern Bergen County. Ars Musica crafts excellent programs of a wide range of choral music; provides our volunteer singers with challenging, instructive, and rewarding opportunities to make music together; and enriches and educates the community by offering the excitement of live performance to a broad audience. Furthermore, Ars Musica is a community of musicians who support and encourage each other as we strive for excellence. We enrich the lives of our membership and Bergen County arts lovers alike by creating opportunities for joy, learning, and expression.
In 2014, Ars Musica Chorale developed the Encore Young Artist Program (EYAP), an artist-in-residence program for aspiring professional singers. The EYAP has provided performance and training opportunities to more than a dozen students who have gone on to budding careers in solo and choral performance at the national level.
Ars Musica Chorale’s patrons come from throughout the region. Local senior organizations and those serving people with disabilities enjoy discounted and free tickets to Ars Musica performances. Ars Musica always seeks to grow its audiences by expanding access and increasing appreciation for classical choral music.
