Music performed by collegiate choirs this Sunday. Our featured full length work in Hour 3
is Louis Spohr’s The Last Judgement. I have never performed this piece. Have any of you
ever heard it performed or have sung in a performance of it? I have always loved Spohr’s music.
He tends to be overshadowed by folks like Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann since he straddled
the classical and romantic periods.
Thanks for supporting Great Sacred Music and The Classical Station. Have a wonderful weekend.
