This SU Chorale concert opens with beloved and beautiful music by Palestrina, Victoria, Bach and Brahms, the most well-known of which is Victoria’s great motet, “O Magnum Mysterium.” For a brief time the program then turns to modern music of the twentieth century featuring an arrangement of a quirky piece by American composer, Charles Ives, called “The Circus Band.”
