The Michael O'Neal Summer Singers present EVERY TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT Choral Masterworks and Moses Hogan Spirituals
Monday, August 29, 2005 7:30 p.m. Peachtree Road United Methodist Church 3180 Peachtree Road NE Atlanta, GA 30305
From the time of its origin, choral music has always had the capacity
to demonstrate profound and spiritual statements. The Michael O'Neal Summer Singers will exemplify this expression of spirit and soul through this concert combining choral Masterworks and African-American
spirituals. Some of the most widely loved choral music of the past several hundred years comes from the sacred choral masterworks of our greatest composers. The music that gave
hope and sustenance to a beleaguered people on their search for freedom and a better life reaches across race and culture to touch the hearts of listeners. From magnificent choral outbursts such as Haydn's "The Heavens are
Telling" to the subdued plea for divine aid in the African-American spiritual "Abide with Me". . . this concert by the first-ever Michael O'Neal Summer Singers will rouse your spirit and pacify your soul.
