Tenor and composer Adam Zahller and friends will present his new work, “In Our Attentive Ears,” in the sanctuary following mass.
Doors open at 12:45pm, and the concert starts at 1:00pm.
This work consists of a series of short movements: 5 movements featuring voices and piano, with brief instrumental interludes that surround them such that there is no pause for the entire duration. Source texts come from early America: fragments from Rhode Island founder Roger Williams' 1643 bilingual phrasebook "A Key Into the Language of America," and a haunting phrase from Powhatan's speech to Captain John Smith as recorded in "Proceedings of the English Colony in Virginia" (1609). Musical material is drawn in part from the shape-note hymn "New Plymouth", with words by Tate and Brady, which include the phrase that became this piece's title, "In Our Attentive Ears."

Los textos originales provienen de los primeros tiempos de Estados Unidos: fragmentos del libro de frases bilingüe de 1643 del fundador de Rhode Island, Roger Williams, “A Key Into the Language of America” y una frase inquietante del discurso de Powhatan al capitán John Smith, tal como se registra en “Proceedings of the English Colony in Virginia” (1609). El material musical se extrae en parte del himno de notas de forma “New Plymouth”, con palabras de Tate y Brady, que incluyen la frase que se convirtió en el título de esta pieza, “In Our Attentive Ears”.
