Gather at the River: Songs of Water and Ice (Berkeley)

“Let the rain sing you a lullaby.” – Langston Hughes

With winter comes water in all its forms. In our December program, Sacred and Profane dances in songs about rain; frolics in songs about snow; and swims in songs about lakes, rivers, and oceans. Our concert includes canonic gems by Brahms, Stanford, Poulenc, and Britten, as well as music by the early 20th-century Black English composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. We will bring you works by contemporary composers Judith Bingham of England and Staffan Storm of Sweden. We complete our concert with an African American spiritual arrangement by Stacey Gibbs and folk and pop songs by the Real Group and Evert Taube.
