The concert starts with a selection from one of the greatest oratorios from the classical era, Haydn's Creation. Concerts in their local form, the heavens are telling the glory of God with words from Psalm 19. In Haydn's masterwork, this number closes day four of God's creation.

Good evening, my name is Melanie Mosher and I am a junior choral education student here at Charleston Southern. Our next group is going to be Belcanto, this is our women's ensemble, and we will be offering four selections tonight. We're going to start in biblical music. The new arrangement, which is by Yasaya Marmel, of the traditional spiritual, there is a balm in the other hand. The welcome tune has a repetitive harmonic and rhythmic element underneath with a rocking, swaying effect that embodies the feeling of a balm.
Our student conductor, Ali Domkowski, will be conducting this selection. Our second selection is Tundra by Norwegian composer Ola Aiello and the lyrics by Charles Silvestri. The composer was inspired by a vast northern mountain plateau in his homeland. From Norway, we are going to travel to Taiwan with a folk song, Du Du Dong Ma. This work depicts the interaction of nature and a train.
When the train goes through one of many tunnels in the mountainous region, the condensation results in falling droplets on the roof of a train, making a sound indicated by a local dialect as Du Du Dong Ma. A pontoon will finish in the United States with a tribute to the life in the U-Canal that goes from comedy to Buffalo. Please enjoy.
There is a woman who is above the eyes to heal the sins, to heal the sins, so there is a woman who is above the eyes to make a home. I'm going to be out to heal the sins of souls. If you cannot reach my feet, I will pray like a wolf.
I'm going to be out to heal the sins of souls. Jesus, you have to save us all. There is a home in Gilead. In the abyss, in the s And I think my words in faith, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. Today, the Lord gives us his own.
Today, the Lord gives us his own. Oh The voice, the voice, the voice of Jesus Christ. I'm a C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-Dub, C-D Oh, This style, 15 miles on the E-Rings on now, she's a good worker at it.

Right back home to Buffalo. Lumberjacks, everybody down. Lumberjacks, we're going through town. And you'll always know your name is on your crown. If you've ever navigated on a e-hawking.
I know from your every baby's sound, you're empty but for me. She's a good old worker and a good old love. Fifteen bucks on the Eureka now.

Lover's corporate, going through town Yes, you'll always know your neighbor And you'll always know your pal If you've ever navigated From the open east you'll walk alone You'll walk alone, yes you'll always know your neighbor And you're always gonna know your pal If you've ever navigated on the Irigana We ended up going just a little bit of a different direction, not so much place-oriented as heaven and earth-oriented.
So the idea of the program is we're walking through several emotions or moods that are tied together. First movement is a pleading for God to carry us through what we will face. Then we go into the D.S.D.A., which is full of fear. And then we stop in this place of uncertainty or of searching for what we want in this life and talk about how we wish the time to come.
And then we surrender it to the trust that is God as the maker and creator of this earth. This is my father. And then because we trust, we have hope that the chariot will swing down and take us on to the other side.
So this is what's known as a programmatic kind of piece. So we're actually going to do all five songs in a row without applause. So if you guys can just hold your applause as we're going through this journey, and I hope you'll enjoy it. So we hope you enjoy our program. Thank you.

My name is Andy Kropp. I'm a junior oral education student. In concert singers, you can perform in three additional selections. The first two will be presented as a set, so please hold your applause and join those two pieces. The Blue Bridge by Elaine Hegeberg meets the beauty of the familiar mountains that go from Georgia to Pennsylvania.
Hegeberg uses a small musical element of two notes with descending and ascending intervals that can be heard throughout the piece. If we draw a continuous line connecting all these notes, we will have the shapes of the mountains overlapping. Norwegian composer Ola Gale used a passage in Latin from the song of Solveig to describe the beauty and power of the northern lights. In his own words, Gale tells us that this was the most beautiful natural phenomenon he had ever witnessed. You know what I'm trying to say.
And with it is such power that must be both mesmerizing and terrifying to the people in the past, when no one knew what it was, and much superstition was attached to these experiences. Concerning it, we'll finish with a narration by Moses Hogan of the traditional spiritual, The Battle of Jericho, with lyrics alluding to the biblical story where Joshua led the Israelites against the Canaan. Thank you. We will first be happy and joyous.
The poor man's coming in They're coming in Coming in The world shall know The world shall know The Spirit of the Lord Thank you. For my dear friend is clear. For my dear friend is clear. Thank you. Jericho, talk about your kings of Gideon, talk about your men of song, one time I put old Joshua at the battle of Jericho.
Good morning, Joshua, the battle of Jericho. Go on, oh why do you let the battle bounce you? Oh Lord, yes, oh the battle's not the battle Go on, oh yes, oh the battle's not the battle Oh Lord, just shut up, and the walls are all tumbling down Oh Lord, you know that you should win the battle You should win the battle We want to battle, We've got to go.
We've got to go. We've got to go. There we go. No more clowns on the lead. Down.
