Cantata Misericordium
Benjamin Brittens dramatic cantata for tenor & baritone soloists, choir, strings, piano, harp, and timpani is based on the story of the Good Samaritan. The work was composed for the centenary of the Red Cross and received is premiere in Geneva on Sept. 1, 1963. Its central theme of mercy and love for all, particularly for those who are not of our own belief system or customs, is a timely and apt theme for todays world. Written just two years after his monumental War Requiem, this work shares much in common with its predecessor and is one of Brittens most personal statements.
Dona Nobis Pacem
The Latvian composer Peteris Vasks wrote this searingly beautiful meditation for choir and string orchestra as a desperate cry for universal peace and reconciliation and as a witness to the ecological destruction wrought by the Soviets on his homeland. This is music that speaks directly to the heart and provokes the mind.
