UNIVERSITY CHORUS TO PERFORM AT SLU

CANTON -- The University Chorus will present spring concerts 
at St. Lawrence University on Saturday, April 29, at 8 p.m. and 
on Sunday, April 30, at 4 p.m. in Gulick Theatre. Both events 
are open to the public, free of charge.
	The program includes two pieces of sacred music composed 
by the young W.A. Mozart, "Regina Coeli, K. 276" and "Missa Brevis, 
K. 194"; the motet "Adoramus te, Christe," formerly attributed to 
Mozart, but composed by Quirino Gasparini; and the oratorio "Jephte," 
by Giacomo Carissimi, the "father" of the oratorio. The latter 
piece tells the story of the Old Testament Hebrew leader who must 
sacrifice his own daughter to secure victory in battle with the 
Ammonites.
	This year's Bence recitalist, Hallie Fishel, returns to 
St. Lawrence for the concert, as a guest artist in the role of Jephte's 
daughter. 
	The University Chorus is directed by Barry Torres, director of 
vocal music. Barbara Phillips-Farley is accompanist on the organ, 
joined by lutenist John Edwards on the theorbo, a bass lute.
	For more information, contact the music department 
at 315-229-5192.
