will feature work by Yale composers
A musical work by David Kellogg, a student at the School of Music and the Institute of Sacred Music, will have its premiere performance in an Advent concert by the Yale Camerata on Saturday, Dec. 2.
The composition, titled "This One Shall Be Peace," was written by Kellogg especially for the Camerata and its director, Marguerite L. Brooks. It is a setting in three movements of Advent texts from the books of Isaiah and Micah as well as the Gospel of John.
Kellogg, a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, has received numerous commissions and awards, including the 2000 William Schuman Prize from BMI, two Morton Gould Young Composer Awards from ASCAP and the Charles Ives Scholarship of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, among others. He is currently composer-in-residence at the University of Connecticut.
The Advent concert will also mark the 250th anniversary year of the death of J.S. Bach with a performance of the Bach cantata "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," which will feature soloists Paul Berry and Julia Blue Raspe. The Camerata will also sing sections of the composer's "Mass in B Minor," and Martin Jean, associate professor of organ at the School of Music and guest artist for the performance, will offer Bach's Canonic Variations on Von Himmel hoch, da komm ich her.
Also on the program is a hymn by Martin Jean and the Hugo Distler setting of two Advent motets by Rheinberger. The concert will conclude with the Camerata's traditional audience sing-along of Sir David Willcocks' arrangement of "See Amid the Winter's Snow."
The concert, which is free and open to the public, begins at 8 p.m. in Battell Chapel, corner of Elm and College streets. For more information, call (203) 432-5180.
