Requiem: We Remember Them

As the fall colors fade, Magnum Chorum offers marvelous music to soothe the soul and illuminate the darkness. An invocation, “Give rest unto thy servants,” unfurls elegantly in Lang’s Kontakian based on 6th century hymnody. You’ll experience the sublime beauty of Requiem by Herbert Howells. Profoundly moving with haunting harmonies and spiritual anguish, Howells’ stirring masterwork offers hope and reassurance that those who die in the Lord find eternal rest. Beloved classics like Randall Thompson’s touching Alleluia and Rene Clausen’s Set Me as a Seal remind us of God’s enduring care for us. Divine music by Whitacre, Grantham’s We Remember Them, and the Nunc Dimittis (Lord, now lettest Thy servant depart in peace) in a new setting by our own Christopher Aspaas stir our souls and create a rewarding moment for reflection and renewal at Nativity of our Lord Catholic Church.
