Sacred Nine Project: I Shall Be Left
Formerly known as ‘My Heavens,’ and ‘Rapture’
Sunday, 30, 3:00 PM, Rayne Memorial United Methodist Church
From the Rapture, to a general pining away for heaven, Americans, particularly Evangelicals, are obsessed! We will celebrate (and poke musical fun at) this mindset, as well as offer foils for it. The music will include arrangements of old gospel hymns, settings of Dickinson and Whitman, transcriptions of early American tunesmiths like William Billings, and a very progressive piece that places a positive spin on being “left behind.” The closer will be a no-holds-barred arrangement of “The Holy City” that deliciously tests the bounds of good taste!
