Braes: Music of the British Isles
Join Chorus Angelorum for the first concert of our 2025-2026 season, featuring music that originates from across Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England – regions of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland with distinct histories and cultures yet bound by deep common threads. Most of these works were never intended for concert halls. They began in kitchens, at bedsides, in churches, and in fields. Their texts and melodies weren’t composed to impress but to connect. And they’ve endured not only because they are beautiful, but because they continue to speak to enduring human experiences.
Many of these songs reflect themes of parting and separation often shaped by larger forces like war, migration, or loss. Others turn to the natural world to express what words alone cannot: hillsides, rivers, flowers, and birds become representations of our hope, regret, longing, and peace. Still others are rooted in spiritual traditions, where personal reflection opens into communal expression. In all of them, the emotional connection remains the same – a desire to be known, to belong, to express joy, or to offer comfort.
Rather than telling a single story, this concert offers many. It is a collection of voices from different places and times, gathered around a shared feeling. We invite you to join us and allow the music to bring to the surface familiar memories, new questions, or simply a sense of being part of something larger.
