Illuminare Date Credits

The Arizona Masterworks Chorale joins the Carolyn Eynon Singers for the Phoenix premiere of Elaine Hagenberg’s “Illuminare,” consisting of five movements for SATB chorus and chamber orchestra. Using lesser-known sacred Latin, Greek, and English texts, the piece takes us through a season of beauty and goodness that has been disrupted by darkness and confusion. But as Light gradually returns, hope is restored, illuminating our future and guiding us in peace.

Each choir performs a set from their recent programs, as well as combining for the rousing “Elijah Rock” by noted arranger Jester Hairston.
