Angel Spirits: Music of World War I

In recognition of the centenary of World War I, baritone David McFerrin and soprano Deborah Selig, with Clifton J. Noble, piano, present “Angel Spirits: Music of World War I”, a recital of songs written during and inspired by that era. The eclectic program is in parts beautiful, haunting, lighthearted, and poignant, and captures sentiments and reflections from many different perspectives during this climactic period of history. Composers include George Butterworth, André Caplet, Claude Debussy, Ivor Gurney, Charles Ives, Francis Poulenc, and Rudi Stefan. And you’ll enjoy the premiere performance of songs by Boston composer Gregory Zavracky, with texts by three female World War One poets, as well as a number of popular American songs, including selections by Irving Berlin, George Cohan  and Jim Europe, director of the 369th Infantry “Harlem Hellfighters” Jazz Band.
