Ragazzi Boys Chorus presents In the Company of Angels, exploring the language and harmonies of our eternal search for spiritual wisdom. As intermediaries and guardian spirits, angels have inspired countless composers and poets, appearing widely across Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and Sikhism. Ragazzi’s selections include Heinrich Schütz’s rhythmic and textured 16th century masterpiece Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt. America’s rich Spiritual tradition is celebrated with Dillworth’s joyful arrangement of Shine on Me. Hymn to the Eternal Flame, by Stephen Paulus, soars beyond earthly constraints with a gorgeous soprano solo. Contemporary composer Eric Whitacre’s Sainte Chapelle weaves chant and poetry to recreate a mystical encounter between a young girl and angels in one of France’s most beautiful chapels. Instrumentalists will join vocalists in Haydn’s swirling and ecstatic Gloria from his Missa Cellensis. The concert will conclude with carols - and an invitation for the audience to join the boys in song.
