This joyous piece is everything Christmas: bells, angelic choirs, and beautiful harmonies. The blending of harmonies like water colors, 2-against-3 rhythms, and hand crossings give this piece such a harp-like sound even though it’s a piano piece. The gentle open sound of these a cappella chords is so healing. The passing of material from instrument to instrument or section to section never gets old. The colorful treatment of the theme delights me every time I hear this piece. Alexander Borodin: In the Steppes of Central Asia.Her list of pieces shows her love of choral, orchestra, piano, and jazz music. Barbara sang with UCA until 2014 and has been the librarian for more years than she can remember: alphabetizing, renting, erasing marks, and collecting choral and orchestra music. As an undergraduate at the U of U, Barbara studied piano with Barlow Bradford and would sit in the audience of UCA concerts wishing she could sing with this amazing choir! On her birthday in 1999 she became a member, and has been involved with the choir ever since.
