Wade in the Water

The Choir of Newman College Concert Series

Wade in the Water is the second in a series of concerts by the Choir of Newman College, exploring the four elements: earth, water, wind and fire. The concert is a voyage of discovery through half a millennium of music drawing inspiration from water in all its guises: from a drop in a still ocean to raging sea-storms, from bitter tears to fresh, thirst-quenching streams.  The Choir of Newman College perform Renaissance anthems, Celtic offerings, sea shanties, ’30s classics and vibrant spirituals, all featuring water.

Featuring: 

  • Orlando di Lasso Super flumina Babylonis
  • Aaron Copland At the river
  • Margaret Rizza Celtic birth baptism
  • Irving Berlin How deep is the ocean
  • Arlen & Koehler Stormy weather
  • Traditional Spirituals Wade in the water and Deep river

  • Directed by Gary Ekkel
  • Soloists: Ryan Bentley, Eamon Dooley
  • Piano, organ: David Macfarlane
