Satisfy your soul with stirring music for Lent as Magnum Chorum returns to Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Melodic music by Brahms, Mendelssohn and F. Melius Christiansen helps us prepare for the season of reflection and sacrifice, while the haunting Agnus Dei by Penderecki is an anguished cry for peace and salvation. Magnificent and triumphant, you’ll hear Rutter’s Gloria proclaimed with sounding brass. Brilliantly contrasting majestic fanfare with moments of stillness, it is a musical feast. Whitacre’s i thank you god soars in vibrant color, while Ralph Johnson’s wistful Be Thou a Smooth Way yearns for guidance, and Thy Little Ones, Dear Lord reminds us that we are God’s children.
