Requiem

During the crisp, colorful days of autumn treat yourself to a magnificent mosaic of music to lift your spirit and soothe your soul. You’ll delight in Ellingboe’s lush Be Music, Night which hearkens all things earthly to shepherd our souls in beauty. We sing treasured psalms including Burzlaff ’s Psalm 46 (There is a River) and Paulus’ exuberant Psalm 84 (How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place). We remember the departed as Purcell’s Miserere Mei offers a sinuous plea for redemption, and Christiansen’s Lamb of God and music by Mendelssohn offer reassurance and grace. You’ll experience the transforming power and ethereal beauty of Gabriel Faure’s Requiem with chamber orchestra. Performed as originally composed in 1888, this celebrated masterwork features lyrical melodies, a beloved soprano solo, and a chorus of angels that lead us to paradise. An unforgettable program in the lovely St. Bart’s in Wayzata.
