BU Choral Series: Identity — Anthems and Belief
Daniel Parsley conducts Boston University’s chorus and orchestra in four works that take up belonging, memory, faith and conviction. David Lang’s National Anthems reflects on collective identity and Brahms’s Begräbnisgesang, Op. 13, on communal remembrance; Margaret Bonds’s Credo sets the words of W. E. B. Du Bois, and Vaughan Williams’s Five Mystical Songs turns to personal faith. The concert is part of the BU Choral Orchestral Series.
