Glee Club performs an adaptation of ecclesiastical poems

February 5, 2012

Courtesy of the Hopkins Center Spaulding Auditorium shook with the resounding opening notes of the medieval monastic song "O Fortuna" on Saturday as the Dartmouth College Glee Club performed Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" and Aaron Copland's "Old American Songs," which were accompanied by three professional soloists and a guest orchestra. The first half of the program, "Old American Songs," featured two soloists baritone Evan Ross '13 and soprano Amber Dewey '12 performing lively folk music, including the minstrel song "The Boatman's Dance" and the children's song "I Bought Me a Cat." These songs serve as sharp contrasts to the powerful "Carmina Burana" that followed. "The American Songs' were written around the same time, but they have a completely different feel with routes in folk music," conductor Louis Burkot said. "Carmina Burana," translated as "Songs of Benediktbeuren," is an hour-long collection of 12th-century ecclesiastical poems set to music, Burkot said. "The American songs are in English," Burkot said.
