St. Pius X Chorale with other area choirs and orchestra present the F.J. Haydn Mariazeller Mass August 21, 2011

The second concert I attended yesterday (the first, SSMF at 2:00 PM) was at Shreveport St. Pius X Catholic Church, a performance of F. J. Haydn's Missa Cellenis in C (Mariazeller Mass) along with two other period pieces, Bach's Orchestral Suite No 3 in DM and G.F. Handel's Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah. The performance was one to raise goose bumps, and it wasn't because of the new church's AC.

Soloists were Candace Taylor, Carol McReynolds, Ton Burns, Ryan McDonald and Don Howren
