Sure On This Shining Night

On November 27th, I attended the University of Alabama’s chamber choir and women’s choir concert. The concert started at 7:30 with the chamber choir. A chamber choir is made up of both males and females. The conductor bowed and the concert began. Before the members of the choir began to sing the conductor set the key for the song on the piano. The first song that they sang was not listed in the program. It was more of an introductory song.
Sure On This Shining Night was the next song that they sang. The conductor for this song was different then the conductor for the first song. The tempo for this song was moderato. The voices in this song were mainly baritone with spirts of soprano and alto. There were no instruments in this song, but a piano was used to set the key for the song.
A second conductor stepped forward to conduct the next song. The title of this song was I Dream a World. The tempo was moderato. There was a mixture of baritone, soprano, and alto voices in the song. The dynamic was a soft piano and it also has crescendo in some parts. The song flowed smoothly throughout which is characteristic of cantabile style.
The last song that the chamber choir sang was titled Hark I Hear The Harps Eternal. This song was my favorite
The first part was called As Dew in Aprille. The tempo was moderato. This song was not very long at all.

The music would start off soft and gradually get louder and louder and then go back down. The dynamic was crescendo. Both of these songs had one instrument, the harp. This final set of songs were my favorite. I had never heard a harp prior to the
