William Byrd – Mass for Four Voices
Giselle Wyers – And All Shall Be Well
Cascadian Chorale presents two major works – one ancient, one modern. William Byrd wrote his Mass for Four Voices while a Catholic hiding from Elizabethan oppression, and his deep devotion is clear in this richly sonorous masterpiece. More recently, Seattle composer Giselle Wyers has collected seven poetic texts into And All Shall Be Well, a meditation on the legacy that persists after death. The chorale will be joined by a string quartet for this piece. Both of these works triumph over their somber histories with brightness, optimism, and joy.
