ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Unlike more dramatic settings of the Latin mass, Duruflé emphasizes peace and solace. It is a profound and deeply moving work that offers a contemplative interpretation of the tradition, creating an atmosphere that offers comfort rather than terror. In this intimate "organ version" with the voices of Résonance, blending into a single, breathing entity, perfectly matched to the "symphonic warmth" of the refurbished Quimby organ.
To conclude our journey, we return to a work that has become a cornerstone of our season – Aaron Copland’s quintessential American anthem, 'The Promise of Living.' Its return offers a deeper resonance; this celebratory finale transforms spiritual peace into a visceral, communal vision of shared labor and hope—a stirring reminder that the 'blessings of harvest' are found in our love for one another.
