The Chancel Choir will conclude its program year at the 10:30 service on May 6 with a mostly-musical liturgy featuring the Mass in G by Franz Schubert. Rather than being presented concert-style, the movements of the mass will be placed throughout the service in their proper liturgical positions, reflecting the original context of the piece when composed in 1815. Mass settings by composers such as Schubert, Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven are still heard in this way in churches in Vienna to this day. The Mass in G, known particularly for its graceful and melodious qualities, will feature four soloists from the choir: Audra Casebier, Cathy Chicoine, Tim Culver, and Mark Miller. This will be one of our last opportunities to enjoy the leadership of Kerry Glann as Kent UCC director of music. He will be with us again conducting the choir on Founders Day, June 17, and then leave for the University of North Texas to begin doctoral studies this fall.
