15 - Hunter College Choir

Hunter College Choir and Collegium Musicum
Hunter College Assembly Hall
12 May 2008, 1900

Choirs are proof that it is a good idea to study Latin. I remember studying Latin in college, but it never sounded as beautiful as it did tonight. The choir is lead by Paul F. Mueller and Matthew Rupcich who are both part of the music department at Hunter College. The main piece that the choir performed was "Mass in Time of War," by Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), a prominent composer of that time period. I found out about the show from Jeannie who is a soprano with the choir, and Lucy and Cindy came along for the ride. This evening of music was exactly what we all needed after spending too much time in front of our computers staring at electropherograms. Music soothes the savage beast, you know. If it could only analyze STRs, we would all be in business. The concert was beautiful and it was a wonderful way to end a long Monday. Thank you Hunter College Choir for relaxing my headache away!

Kyrie eleison.
