Summer Signup
This year we have the opportunity to do a summer session with the Bristol County Chorus and learn an original piece by our talented director Nicholas Rocha. Practices will be held on Tuesdays in Rumford RI with a concert perfomance scheduled for Sept 19th. Dues are $30 for the session. If you are interested in joining us, please fill out the form below.
About the Piece:
Written by Nicholas Rocha, this piece is a 40-minute odyssey set in eight movements entitled Abyssopelagic. It was written for choir, piano, clarinet, tenor saxophone, and cello and features poetry written by the composer. It was conceived as a secular De Profundis (Psalm 130) mixed with a song cycle like Schumann's Dichterliebe or Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte.
The music explores themes of longing, loss, and hope and traces an emotional journey through grief, remembrance, and acceptance, drawing on both sacred and secular musical traditions.
