The Corpus Christi Chorale invites you to travel back in time to witness "The Madrigal Singer."
The Madrigal is a music genre comprised of voices set to poetry. Our line up includes pieces dating all the way back to the 16th-Century — a time of Shakespearean romance, lush gardens and greenery, and fiery passions. This Spring, we invite you to take a true step away from reality and venture into a sonic fantasy like nothing you’ve ever experienced.

The Corpus Christi Chorale and Camerata Isla invites you to experience Brahms' Requiem.
This seven-movement work was composed between 1865 and 1868. The Requiem is one of Brahms’ longest compositions, ranging from 65 to 80 minutes. As the title suggests, this composition was a deviation from the traditional Latin text and is performed often performed with German text.
An alternative version of the full seven-movement work was composed by Brahms to be performed with four-hand piano. This alternative version was sung in English for the first complete British performance of the Requiem on July 10, 1871. The four-hand piano version of the Requiem has become known as the "London Version.”
A Requiem Mass in the Roman Catholic liturgy traditionally begins with prayers for the dead. Brahms focused on the living, beginning with the text from the Beatitudes, "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” This theme occurs often, except movements IV and VII. The idea of the Lord as a source of the comfort is represented, but the sympathetic humanism persists throughout most movements.
Come experience the majesty of Brahms with the Corpus Christi Chorale and Camerata Isla!
