This past Saturday, the Lafayette Chorale joined forces with the Asbury University choir and Eastern Kentucky University Choir to be the symphonic chorus for the Lexington Philharmonic’s season opener concert. The choir performed Ravel’s Second Suite from Daphnis and Chloe.
From the program notes by Daniel Chetel:
“Ravel’s orchestral suites are now staples in the concert repertory and show off the diversity of musical colors available to this early twentieth-century innovator. The shimmering light of the strings and bubbling rushing water of the woodwinds is joined by a wordless choir that only adds to the splendor of the musical scenery of these final movements from the original ballet.”
