Pathways: Songs of Redemption
Sunday, October 22, 2023 – 3 PM
First United Methodist Church, Corvallis
Sunrise Mass by Ola Gjeilo
Cantata BWV 47 “Wer sich selbst erhöhet” by J. S. Bach
Motet: Laudate Pueri, H. 149 by Marc-Antoine Charpentier
Come with us as we journey through the path of humankind, from the struggle inherent in Bach’s Cantata, Wer sich selbst erhöhet, to the triumphant joy revealed in Gjeilo’s metaphysical Sunrise Mass. The early music works are brought to life through the featured voices of soprano, Elise Gidley Groves, and bass Daniel Fridley. For both soloists, this is a welcome return of two young professional vocalists who grew up in the Corvallis area, and began their studies at Oregon State University.
soloists for Cantata BWV 47 and Motet H.149:
Elise Gidley Groves, soprano
Daniel Fridley, bass

Illuminare by Elaine Hagenberg
Carols of the Season
From the pen of Elaine Hagenberg, one of our country’s most innovative and exciting young composers, is a new five movement work for chamber orchestra and choir. This choral work utilizes ancient texts bringing the listener from the dark into light. Hagenberg’s haunting melodies, driving rhythms, and use of counterpoint are perfect to celebrate the holiday season. It’s a new work that truly captures the need for hope in our time, while acknowledging the uncertainty that surrounds us. The Corvallis Repertory Singers traditional concert concludes with carols old and new.
