Mary’s journey from humble maiden to grieving mother has inspired composers throughout the centuries – and it is the heart of the Houston Chamber Choir’s opening concert. This evening of great music in a great space weaves together works spanning 500 years, from the triple-choir setting of the Stabat Mater by Renaissance composer Felice Anerio, to the transcendent mysticism of Arvo Pärt’s recent setting of the Magnificat, and John Taverner’s Song to the Mother of God. Perhaps the most widely loved song of all, Schubert’s Ave Maria, brings the concert to a poignant close.
