Earlier
on March 2, 2012 AfriClassical posted: “California Lutheran University Choir Spring Tour Includes Music of Adolphus C.Hailstork.” Among the composers whose works are said to be on the
program of the Spring Tour is Adolphus C. Hailstork (b. 1941), who is featured at AfriClassical.com. Prof.
Wyant Morton is Chair of the Music Department of California Lutheran
University and Director of the CLU Choir.
AfriClassical
asked him for the title of the Adolphus Hailstork composition to be
sung by the CLU Choir, and he graciously replied that it was
Nocturne.
Nocturne
is six minutes long and is part of
Five
Short Choral Works, according
to Theodore Presser, the composer's publisher. The company's website
indicates the larger composition was commissioned by Willard Frank
for the Unitarian Church of Norfolk, Virginia; the text is from Jim
Curtis.
