  Bay Choral Guild's June concert celebrates American song from Colonial days to the present. Although colonists brought European classical music tradition with them, over time American composers developed their own musical styles. This concert is a wonderful tribute to the loveliness and variety of American Song, as we spotlight the immense breadth and creativity of our nation's leading composers.

In the first half we'll sing works from the 18th to the 21st centuries by composers working in the "classical" tradition, with selections by William Billings, Amy Beach, Steven Sametz, Aaron Copeland, Charles Ives and Samuel Barber.

In the second half, we'll focus on American popular genres, ranging from gorgeously melodic Stephen Foster songs to toe-tapping, rhythmic, exciting Irving Berlin, as well as very familiar works by Richard Rodgers, Leonard Bernstein and Moses Hogan. Join us for an evening of great musical excitement and fun!
