PIPES: Downtown Voices featuring Janet Yieh
Beloved choral organ works in the Anglican and American tradition
Janet Yieh, music director at New York’s Church of the Heavenly Rest and former Trinity assistant organist, joins Downtown Voices to present a program of iconic Anglican and American hymns that illustrates the new organ’s majestic sweep — capable of both soaring transcendence and quiet sweetness. Opening with I Was Glad, by Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, the evening includes such favorites as William Henry Harris’s Faire is the heaven, Cecilia McDowall’s O sing unto the Lord, and Alice Parker’s Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal.
