The California Redwood Chorale sang a varied program of music by American and Hungarian composers. A lovely set of songs by American composer, Ned Rorem were performed by soloist Bonnie Brooks and then by the Chorale. Paul Murray chose to sing two Stephen Foster songs. The largest work of the concert was Zoltan Kodaly’s “Missa Brevis” written in 1944 during the bombing of Budapest. Kodaly’s emotions come through the music in soaring, heart-breakingly beautiful melodies. The singers were accompanied by David Parons on the organ. (Read a review of this concert on this website.)
