Ragazzi Continuo, the a cappella group composed of adult alumni of the Bay Area’s Ragazzi Boys Chorus, presents The Great American Songbook, a sampling of defining songs that have shaped the musical landscape of the United States. The concert surveys American song from colonial composer William Billings’ Lamentation Over Boston, to Tin Pan Alley’s Irving Berlin’s Blue Skies. The men will also perform Reginald Unterseher’s composition of B.F White’s When I Hear The Trumpet Sound, and Continuo’s own Daniel Crowley’s arrangement of a Civil War standard. Rounding out the concert will be songs from modern American singer-songwriters such as James Taylor and David Crosby.
