The Pilgrim Congregational Choir will present Rene Clausen's
cantata, A New Creation, on May 12th at 10:00 a.m. We are located at 2310 E. 4th
Street, Duluth.
Clausen is a contemporary American composer who serves as
professor of music and choir director at Concordia College in Moorhead,
Minnesota. A New Creation is written for
chorus, soloists, and accompaniment. The work uses both English and Latin texts
taken from the Bible, the Roman Catholic Mass, and a hymn by George Herbert.
In writing about this composition, Clausen said, "The
various movements are attempts to characterize, through music, various aspects of
the human/God, God/human relationship. Awe and wonder,
unworthiness and doubt, mercy and forgiveness, love, joy, and peace, are all
wrapped together in this piece, as indeed these elements are wrapped together
in our daily lives.”
The Pilgrim Choir is directed by Dr. Bret Amundson. Pilgrim’s Director of Music, Rachel Kresha,
will accompany the choir.
