On Friday, October 25th, the College of the Ozarks Chorale and
Orchestra performed a concert in the Royal Oak Forum at the Keeter Center. The
theme was American Voices, and featured a patriotic composition entitled "The
Testament of Freedom" by Randall Thompson. This piece was a setting of
texts taken from the writings of Thomas Jefferson and speaks of spreading life
and liberty across the globe. The orchestra also played two other pieces,
"Variations on 'America'" and "Lincoln Portrait. " Biblical
and Theological Studies professor Dr. Daniel Chinn read the narration during
the "Lincoln Portrait" performance. The Chorale also performed a few works
independently from the orchestra, including the traditional song
"Shenandoah," ""Zion's Walls," and "Give Me Your
Tired, Your Poor." We appreciate the ensembles sharing their musical
talents with us!
