Fauré's Requiem and Vivaldi's Gloria are two of the best loved works of the choral literature — for good reason. Each is strikingly beautiful in its own way. Fauré's sublime Requiem, intimate in scale and consoling in content, gracefully and gently expresses human grief, as Fauré himself said, "[My Requiem] is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest." Vivaldi's Gloria, with its awe-inspiring waves of musical notes, its energy and rhythmic drive, and its achingly beautiful "Et in Terra Pax," compellingly communicate the work's message of spiritual joy.
Bach's Cantata Gloria in excelsis Deo, which will receive its May Festival premiere at this concert, is listed among the composer's cantatas for the Christmas season. The Cantata's music, borrowed from movements of Bach's celebrated B Minor Mass, vividly communicates the familiar message: "Glory be to God on high, and on Earth peace to men of good will."
A memorable evening of exquisite and spiritual music awaits!
