Ocala Symphony Chorus: Mystical Songs

Mystical Songs traces a spiritual journey shaped by intimacy, wonder, and proclamation. Schubert’s Mass in G opens the program with luminous restraint, offering prayer that is tender, human, and quietly assured. At the center, Vivaldi’s Magnificat in G gives voice to Mary’s song of awe and courage—faith spoken from the body and the heart, alive with rhythmic energy and joy. The program reaches its culmination in Vaughan Williams’s Five Mystical Songs, where inward devotion flowers into radiant affirmation, and private belief is transformed into song that dares to be sung aloud.
