GMChorale will present Brahm’s “Liebeslieder Waltzes,” as well as contemporary pieces by James Mulholland, Morten Lauridsen and Shawn Kirchner, at the Santo Fragilio Performing Arts Center at Middletown High School on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Each composer selected poetry that found its way into the music featured in GMChorale’s mainstage concert, “Love, Waltzes and Luminous Skies.” The selected pieces are connected in a variety of ways: musically, texturally, stylistically and thematically.\r\n\r\nWhen Johannes Brahms composed his Liebeslieder Waltzes (Opus 52 and Opus 65), he turned for inspiration to Georg Friedrich Daumer’s Polydora, a collection of folksongs exploring the varied aspects of romantic love – longing, flirtation, devotion, tenderness, and sorrow, to name a few. Brahms introduces us to 32 of these poems and ends with a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe that sums up the pain and joy of love.\r\n\r\nFive short thematically connected pieces have been added to the program.

Southborough, MA — The Assabet Valley Mastersingers (AVM) is thrilled to announce its November 2025 concert. This concert features the Mass in C by Beethoven, as well as the Requiem in D by Maurice Durufle. We will have an organist accompany the Requiem in D. Join the choir to kick off this inspiring season of music by AVM that speaks to unity, resilience, and hope. Our 2025-2026 season, “Together We Can”, brings powerful works together that celebrate the strength of the human spirit. Beethoven’s deeply expressive Mass in C and Duruflé’s poignant Requiem explore faith, memory, and the emotions that connect us to something greater. The Mass in C was written during the middle period of Beethoven's musical career; this was Beethoven's first mass and very much influenced by the aura of Haydn's reputation. Durufle’s Requiem features impressionistic harmonies and is deeply serene and meditative.
