HANDEL Dixit Dominus
PÄRT Berliner Messe
IMBRIE On the Beach at Night
A contrast in eras and emotions. George Frideric Handel’s dynamic Dixit Dominus features insistent, soaring vocal lines and furiously complex counterpoint. Arvo Pärt’s luminous, deeply felt Berliner Messe creates an aura of meditative serenity. On the Beach at Night by American composer Andrew Imbrie finds the awe in Walt Whitman’s words, lifting this magical poem to greater heights. Craig Hella Johnson conducts the Victoria Bach Festival String Orchestra and Conspirare.
Pre-concert talk with Margaret Perry of the Armstrong Community Music School, 6:30 pm.
