The Duke Chapel Choir and the Duke Chorale join forces with Mallarmé Music and the Amalgam Brass for an afternoon of music celebrating American poets and composers, past and present. The concert begins with Aaron Copland’s stirring Fanfare for the Common Man and a hope-filled setting of Walt Whitman verses from Leaves of Grass by composer Ola Gjeilo. A set of shorter works featuring contemporary American voices—including Caroline Shaw, Reyna Alston, Margaret Burk, and Mia Malhotra—comprise the center of the program, while Randall Thompson’s cantata A Feast of Praise and Copland’s “The Promise of Living” from The Tender Land form its exuberant conclusion.
