Remembrance. Comfort. Hope. Renewal. Joy.On a day traditionally set aside to remember those who came before us, the San Antonio Mastersingers invite you to an afternoon of music that looks back with love—and forward with hope.
All Things New brings together generations of singers for a moving musical journey through remembrance, love, comfort, renewal and joy. From music that speaks to carrying those we love within us, to songs of reassurance, restoration and the promise of things made new, this program takes on special meaning on November 1, All Saints' Day, and during a season when many in our community also honor departed loved ones through Día de los Muertos traditions.
At the heart of the program is Francis Poulenc's magnificent Gloria, moving between grandeur, exuberance and moments of breathtaking serenity.
The San Antonio Mastersingers will also perform Elaine Hagenberg's luminous All Things New, a musical message of hope and transformation; the serene beauty of Brahms' Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen; Shawn Kirchner's exuberant O! What a Beautiful City; and Ralph Vaughan Williams' jubilant Let All the World in Every Corner Sing.
Joining the Mastersingers, the Children's Chorus of San Antonio brings the timeless beauty of Shenandoah and the comforting message of Paul Simon's Bridge Over Troubled Water.
The UTSA Concert Choir repertoire adds even more depth. Connor Koppin's I carry your heart, setting the poetry of E. E. Cummings, gives us the beautiful idea of carrying someone we love within us. Ezekiel, arranged by Stacey Gibbs, brings vibrant energy and rhythmic excitement through the African American spiritual inspired by the prophet Ezekiel's extraordinary vision of wheels in the air. Its exuberant celebration adds another dimension of spiritual wonder and joy to the program.
Together, these works remind us that those we love remain part of us—and that even through loss and change, there can be comfort, hope and renewal.
