The Israelites rejoice after the Red Sea closes over the Egyptian army in Linley Jr’s masterpiece. Based on Exodus Chapter 15, the libretto and music of The Song of Moses have undeservedly been forgotten by modern audiences. This rare performance, accompanied by informative program notes, revives this oratorio for New York audiences and raises money for the Calvary-St. George’s food pantry.
