The OU School of Music will hold a virtual concert featuring the Womenâs Chorus and the Menâs Glee Club April 17.Â
The concert, conducted by Associate Director of Choral Activities David Howard, will feature two pieces â âChichester Psalmsâ by Leonard Bernstein and âRejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30â by Benjamin Britten.Â
Howard said students are enjoying preparing each piece.Â
â[The pieces] are fun, and they re beautiful,â Howard said. âOne of the pieces is by Leonard Bernstein, who wrote Westside Story, so there s a lot of West Side Story flavor in that music. The other piece sets a poem by an 18th century poet who was brilliant, but also a little bit manic. The composers captured it very well, and it s very youthful and rhythmic.â
