The Geneseo Chamber Singers, under the direction of Distinguished Service Professor of Music Gerarld Floriano, performed three choral pieces: “The Last Words of David” (composer Randall Thompson); “Daniel, Daniel Servant of the Lord” (traditional, arranged by Undine Smith Moore); and “My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord” (traditional, arranged by Moses Hogan).
