The program will open with three a cappella American works: the traditional By The Waters of Babylon, Virgil Thompson's "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" and Ross Lee Finney's "Words To Be Spoken". Each of these pieces is quintessentially American in voice, suggesting at once strength and conviction, wonder and vulnerability. Fauré's Requiem is perhaps the lightest of the well-known Requiem settings. It is a work of tenderness and comfort, pervaded by light. It is tuneful and direct, ending with music of ethereal beauty and promise.
