Never to Forget
Friday, April 8, 2022 at 8PM & Saturday, April 9, 2022 at 3PM
Schroeder Hall, Green Music Center
Circa 1600 · Live Oak Baroque Orchestra
Bachgrounder 35 minutes before each concert
Our concert, dedicated to the memory of those we have lost during the pandemic, is built upon two liturgies. Our first half follows the form of the Requiem Mass, with movements by Maurice Duruflé, Johann Kaspar
Kerll and Duarte Lobo.  Around these we have woven arrangments of two German chorales: ‘Jesu meine Freude’ and ‘O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden’, the beloved Passion chorale. Our second half is built upon Compline, the close-of-day service. Motets by Michael Praetorius, Thomas Tallis, John Sheppard, Pierre Manchicourt and others are bound together by the verses of the noble chorale ‘Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, O Herr’.

We are the miracles that God made
To taste the bitter fruit of Time.
We are precious. And one day our suffering
Will turn into the wonders of the earth.
The ocean is full of songs. The sky is not an enemy.
Destiny is our friend.​
--Ben Okri, from African Elegy

“I am sure I have never beheld any concert program articulated with such care, clarity, insight and affection.”
