Under the direction of Daniel C. Stowe, the University of Notre Dame Glee Club has released the itinerary for their 2009 Fall Tour.  The Glee Club is one of the of the most renowned all-male choruses in the United States. They will feature a program of a cappella works that surveys a broad range of music form Medieval works to contemporary compositions for male chorus.  The group will be stopping in Geneseo, Illinois as part of the tour.
The program delivered in each performance is always filled with variety that highlights the Glee Club’s scholasticism, musicianship, and dynamic control as an ensemble.  “We want our audiences to receive an educational experience as well,” says director Daniel Stowe.
The tour’s program will feature music from the Renaissance, Classical, and even Romantic eras.  Sacred contemporary pieces may also be sung like Franz Biebl’s “Ave Maria” for double men’s chorus – a signature piece of the Glee Club.  The program continues with an exciting second half of folk songs, spirituals, and barbershop arrangements from the musical The Music Man. As always, the Glee Club will conclude its concert with the greatest of all University fight songs, “The Notre Dame Victory March.”
The Glee Club continues in its ninety-fourth year having traveled during the Summer of 2009 on a tour of Guatemala, presenting concerts in Guatemala City, Antigua and many other Guatemalan cities.  Previous international tour destinations have included Europe (2007), Central America (2005), Asia (2001), and Israel (1997).
