Our Take

In this latest offering from the Oratorio Society of New York and conductor Kent Tritle, composer Paul Moravec takes us on a musical journey through the harrowing tales of the Underground Railroad in "Sanctuary Road." Based on the writings of William Still, this oratorio is a powerful and moving testament to the strength and resilience of those who fought for freedom.

From the haunting opening notes to the triumphant finale, Moravec weaves a tapestry of sound that is both soul-stirring and thought-provoking. The choir's voices soar and intertwine, creating a sense of unity and purpose that is truly inspiring. The soloists, including soprano Laquita Mitchell and tenor Joshua Blue, deliver stirring performances that bring the characters to life with every note.

The orchestration is lush and dynamic, with powerful brass and percussion adding drama and intensity to the already emotional vocals. Moravec's use of harmony and counterpoint is masterful, creating a rich and textured sound that draws the listener in and holds them captive until the very last note.

"Sanctuary Road" is a testament to the enduring power of music to tell stories and evoke emotions. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of choral music, and a shining example of the Oratorio Society of New York's commitment to excellence in performance. Don't miss this masterful work of art.
