Rivers, oceans and tears are the themes of the pieces in the Orcas Choral Society’s spring program entitled Water Music. With repertoire ranging from folk songs to deep classical, the music will tell of waters that divide us, waters that are the source of life, and waters that represent life’s passages.
The program will include Traditional folk songs and spirituals such as Deep River, The Water is Wide, All My Trials and Shenandoah among others; Classical inclusions by Palestrina, Mozart and a setting of Psalm 126 by our own Roger Sherman.
The audience will have the opportunity to sing some familiar songs with the choir.
