The Angelina College Chorale, featuring Voice Faculty and students,
recently teamed up with the Jasper High School Choir for a Spring
concert at Angelina College’s Hudgins Hall.
AC’s Chorale is led by Beckie Compton; she and Jasper HS director Martin
Jones split the directorial duties throughout the show that featured a
mix of spiritual and folk songs from different eras of music history.
Some of those numbers included Come Sail Away with Me (Schubert), Sing
Forever to the Lord (Paige), Three Madrigals (Diemer) and Sound the
Trumpet (Purcell).
In addition, Angelina College Voice instructors Charlotte Davis and
Randy Green offered duets on Pie Jesu and All I Ask of You from Phantom
of the Opera. Daniel Perry (Youth and Love), John Slack (The Vagabond)
and Maribel Castillo (Sure on This Shining Night) performed solos.
“Several years ago, we invited a high school choir to perform a
Christmas concert with us, and it was very well received,” Compton said.
“It’s a very good way to involve the community, and to introduce some
local music students to our program.
“I’ve really enjoyed working with the Jasper choir and Mr. Jones.
They’re a very good choir, very polished, and they added a nice sound to
the concert.”
Students comprising the AC Chorale include John Slack, Daniel Perry,
Josh Griffin, Jeremy Powell, Erin Nelson, Hallie Collier, Sarah Jackson,
Maribel Castillo, Bethani Blake, Esther McClure and Ericia Rains.
