UNL’s All-Collegiate Choir will punctuate the 2013-14 season with a performance of Morten Lauridsen’s seminal work, “Lux Aeterna.” Composed in memoriam of the composer’s mother, this five-movement setting of texts about light mourns the loss of a loved one, while conveying a sense of confidence in the peace that is to follow; both for the lost, and those left behind.

The All-Collegiate Choir will be joined in performance by the Sing Omaha Master Chorale, who will share a set of American choral music from the 20th and 21st centuries, including selections by Morten Lauridsen, Ola Gjeilo, Z. Randall Stroope, David Childs, Stephen Paulus, and others.

Then UNL’s University Chorale will perform a variety of both beautiful and light-hearted works including folksong arrangements and works by Holst, Thompson and Musselman.

Also on the concert will be UNL’s 80-voice Varsity Men’s Chorus. They will perform a variety of literature including a Celtic folksongs, an early American Folksong, an American Spiritual, wonderful text-settings by A.E. Housman, and a Broadway favorite for male singers.
