Pacific Chorale gives voice to beautiful settings of poetic texts, starting with selections by German Romantic composers, in which the men and women of the Chorale have equal time to shine, joined by harp and horns. We then visit the world of Shakespeare, courtesy of Ralph Vaughan Williams, and conclude with the quintessentially American verse of Robert Frost.
