Heard in Buffalo, Too

This weekend, the Freudig Singers present “Heard in Buffalo, Too,” a concert of choral music by Buffalo composers. Roland E. Martin is the music director. Martin’s own “Laus Trinitati” is a work with shifting meters and a blazing organ toccata that is fun and noisy. A piece by Martin’s late father, Roland Sr., “When Shadows are Falling,” will be familiar to listeners as Clint Buehlman’s theme music. Works by this writer include a setting of Walt Whitman’s poem, “To a Stranger,” followed by two provocative songs for women’s voices, “To a Fat Lady Seen from the Train” and “The Fat White Woman Speaks.” Other works on the program include “Music, the Food of Love” by Persis Vehar, “Psalm 150” by Chet Mais, “Nunc dimittis” by John Hofmann, “Magnificat and Nunc dimittis” by Herb Tinney, “Christ is the Redeemer of the World” by Hans Vigeland, “One Thing I Have Desired” by Jonathan Scarozza and “How Did I Find You?” by the late John Armesto.

Saturday, March 4 at 7:30pm. Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, 4369 South Buffalo Road, Orchard Park. Sunday, March 5 at 4pm. St. Joseph University Church, 3269 Main St., Buffalo.

$10 advance, $12 at the door, $8 seniors and students.
