Unclouded Day: An American Hymn-Book, CANW’s 2016-17 season finale, is a celebration of American hymnody and new music featuring three world-premiere works!
21st century arrangements of familiar shaker tunes, hymns and spirituals by Kevin Siegfried, Steven Paulus, Will Averitt, and Shawn Kirchner will be performed with premiere settings of Be Thou My Vision by John David Earnest; Amazing Grace by Seattle composer Rick Asher; and Veteran’s Stories by CANW 2016-17 composer-in-residence John Muehleisen. Averitt’s arrangements of shape-note tunes set for choir with his characteristic accompaniment of piano four-hands (featuring pianists Lee Thompson and Melissa Loehnig Simons) are also sure to be a particular highlight!
