The theme of Resound Ensemble's Spring concert is best captured in one word,  Ai'yu, which evokes the spirit of transcendence. Used mainly in Egyptian cultures, this word serves as an exclamation meaning "astonishing!" and "marvelous!" during times of great joy. Our program includes such works worthy of this exclamation, such as Arvo Pärt's Magnificat, Gabriel Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine, and works by contemporary composers such as Dominick DiOrio's I Am, and Ola Gjeilo's Northern Lights. Our composer-in-residence this year is Bay Area-composer, Anne Hege. We will perform the West Coast-premiere of her piece, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird.
