In the soaring beauty of THE CATHEDRAL OF SAINT PAUL, we honor and
remember departed loved ones with luminous music offering the
reassurance of eternal life. Esenvalds illuminates the grief of loss
in Ancient Prairie with pensive violin. A serene Funeral Ikos by
Tavener is a meditation on passing from this world to the next, with
hope for everlasting light in Elgars timeless Lux Aeterna (Nimrod)
from the Enigma Variations. Our centerpiece is the extraordinary
Durufle REQUIEM, an achingly beautiful masterwork of hope and
spiritual anguish, and a prayer to free the souls of the faithful into
paradise where a chorus of angels await. Accompanied by chamber
orchestra and organ, the work is profoundly moving in moments of
dramatic intensity and exquisite restraint in an uplifting evening for
reflection and renewal.
