The choir will also present a fascinating survey of folk and popular melodies from around the world (representing 13 countries)---including "Sweet Woodlark" from Scotland, the nostalgic "Khata moya bila khata" from Ukraine, the poly-rhythmic "Guarare" from Panama, "Olha a rosa amarelle," a Brazilian samba, and the African-American spirituals, "Deep River" and "Let Me Fly." Also heard will be Woodward's own Caribbean-based "Down by the Seashore" and the choir's original setting of the signature Italian song, "O Sole Mio" (in recognition of Salt Lake City's recently established sister-city relationship with the city of Turin, Italy). The concert will conclude with combined choir ensembles in a new setting of "Evening Prayer"---followed by choir and choir alumni joining in "A Day in Spring."
