IN PARADISUM: Duruflé’s Requiem

MU’s Concert Chorale and Columbia Chorale join together to present a concert of ethereal choral works, highlighted by Duruflé’s most well known masterpiece, Requiem. Requiem began as an unfinished organ suite based on the plainchants for the Mass for the Dead, before he transformed it into his Requiem for chorus, soloists, and instruments. Completed in 1947, it was dedicated to the memory of the composer’s father, and is Duruflé’s longest and most substantial work. Duruflé wrote, “This Requiem is not an ethereal work which sings of detachment from earthly worries. It reflects . . . the agony of man faced with the mystery of his ultimate end. It is often dramatic, or filled with resignation, or hope or terror, just as the words of the Scripture themselves, which are used in the liturgy.  It tends to translate human feelings before their terrifying, unexplainable or consoling destiny” before ending with “the ultimate answer of Faith to all the questions by the flight of the soul to Paradise.”

Dr. Jordan will sing the baritone solo. For more information: https://www.choralartsallianceofmissouri.org/caam-concerts/
