Songs of love, whether human or divine, have captured the imagination of composers throughout the centuries. Milwaukee Symphony principal violist Robert Levine, vocal soloists, and the Bel Canto Chamber Orchestra join the Chorus to perform five passionate expressions of devotion set to music by five twentieth-century masters of composition. The offerings on this concert run from Eric Whitacre’s intimate musical postcards on Hebrew love poems written by his wife, to Samuel Barber’s setting of selected prayers by Danish theologian Søren Kierkegaard, a work that was described at its premiere as a "serious, moving and convincing piece." Also featured is Flos Campi, in which Vaughan Williams uses solo viola, orchestra, and wordless chorus to express the gamut of emotions found in the love poetry of the Song of Songs.
