The Clearfield Choral Society will present a spring concert at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, May 21, at the Presbyterian Church of Clearfield, 119 N. Second St., Clearfield.
The concert, "We Shall Walk in Peace: A Tribute to Our Fallen Soldiers," will include poems, such as John McCrae's "In Flander's Fields," Walt Whitman's "Dirge for Two Veterans" and A.D. Hope's "Inscription for a War," written in response to war and violence of their respective times.
Composers, such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, spoke openly against war and conflict, and used music as a means to make his message known throughout England, and eventually, the world. In the end, the final message is the need for peace, love and joy, as will be heard in Mack Wilberg's dynamic "Anthem of Peace," Elaine Hagenberg's setting of George Herbert Meade's "O Love" and in the simplicity of Kevin Siegfried's setting of the Shaker hymn, "Peace."
Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students. Anyone who has served in the military, or is currently serving, will be admitted into the concert free of charge.
Tickets can be purchased online at ClearfieldChoralSociety.org. Tickets will also be sold at the church one hour before the concert.
