The Chorale (MUS 215) is an advanced chamber choir of approximately 30 singers chosen annually by audition. During the selection process, careful attention is given to maintaining artistic balance between sections of the chorus. The repertoire of the Drew Chorale has traditionally spanned works from the Medieval period into the 21st century. Recent major works have included the Haydn Te Deum, Brahms Liebeslieder Waltzes (Opus 52), Arvo Pärt Magnificat, and the Bach Magnificat in D.
The Drew Chorale also has a prominent place in major Drew community functions, especially the year-ending Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremonies. Beginning spring 2013, the Drew Chorale will also become the Drew Music Department’s touring ensemble.
