Dartmouth College Glee Club

This concert was in Rollins Chapel with the choir around the organ.  The first piece was Elijah by Mendelssohn, and the interesting start had the choir in two lines along the side of the chapel, moving into position on the stage as they sang.  I really enjoyed that feature, and it reminded me of the Hanover High Baccalaureate.  The three soloists were recent Dartmouth graduates, including James Ragan who I remembered from Dartmouth Idol.

The second half was Brahms, and the two selections from Ein Deutsches Requiem were lovely.

After the concert, as people file out, the group broke out into an informal gospel song, which was a lot of fun, and a great way to tag the end of the show.
