Two French Masses
Requiem Opus 9 by Maurice Duruflé and Mass in G Major by Francis Poulenc
Maurice Duruflé, a French composer, was commissioned in May 1941 by the Vichy regime to compose a symphonic poem. When the regime collapsed in 1944, he was still working on his Requiem. He completed it in 1947.
Duruflé, in a letter to Randolph Jones, stated that the Colorado Choir’s presentation of his Requiem, here included, revealed an “outstanding interpretation…excellent…perfect…a lot of power.”
This performance was recorded live in Denver’s Boettcher Concert Hall with The Colorado Choir Festival Orchestra.

My husband and I listened to their Christmas concert. There was a wide variety of music. It was not just Christmas carols that have been played over and over. The performance was stunning. The entire audience was blown away at the professionalism of this choir. I recommend everybody go listen to them

The Colorado Choir is really something else. A family member of mine has been signing with them for years and I look forward to listening to them at each of their annual concerts. It's a unique experience worth enjoying!

Everyone needs the magic of music, and this choir delivers every single time! My husband and I love this group, and they sing all over Denver: at Augustana in Denver for Christmas, at Bethany for the winter concerts, and in Lakewood for the spring concerts. Tell your friends & family about this wonderful choir, what a gift they are to the Denver music scene!

I have attended the Colorado Choir concerts for the past 20 years. The Christmas Concert is so joyful and very rich in sound it always starts my Christmas Season. This Christmas I understand the choir will perform songs in French, Latin and Russian and during the Winter and Spring concerts will add a Spanish piece to the repertoire. This choir is spectacular.
