Selections chosen for the Wind Ensemble portion of the performance include 鈥淎 Festival Fanfare for Christmas,鈥�听鈥淢inor Alterations,鈥� 鈥淛ubilee,鈥� 鈥淏ugler鈥檚 Holiday,鈥� and 鈥淪leigh Ride.鈥� Trumpeters Solomon Abang, Daniel Simons, Noah Rampmaier, and Jonathan DeCou will be featured in 鈥淏ugler鈥檚 Holiday.鈥� Included in the repertoire for this performance is a setting of 鈥淪ilent Night鈥� by local composer Herb Bassett. Bassett will serve as guest conductor for 鈥淪ilent Night.鈥澨�听

Following the Wind Ensemble, the Chamber Singers will perform 鈥淰ox Populi,鈥� a six-part a cappella piece sung from the balcony. The Warhawk Singers (tenor/bass ensemble) and Bayou La Belle (soprano/alto ensemble) will unite to perform under the direction of VAPA Assistant Professor Carlton Kilpatrick, Ph.D. The program will continue with the 91暗网 Concert Choir under Director of Choral Activities Deborah Chandler, Ph.D.

Two of the selections will be 鈥淛oyful, Joyful鈥� from 鈥淪ister Act 2鈥� and a combined choir piece written in 1998 as a tribute to Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk entitled 鈥淗ope for Resolution.鈥� This song is a juxtaposition of a European chant melody and an anti-apartheid song of South Africa. During the choral half of the program, two choral music education students will each conduct one of the ensembles. Justin Havard is the accompanist for all of 91暗网鈥檚 choral ensembles.
