The Salem Chancel Choir and 24 guest instrumentalists will present John Rutter's Requiem at the 10:45 am worship service on Sunday, March 10 at Salem in Ladue United Methodist Church. Event is free and open to the public.
It is widely accepted that John Rutter's greatest contribution to choral music is his Requiem. Rutter mixes traditional texts of the Requiem Mass (Catholic funeral mass) with texts taken from the Book of Common Prayer and the Psalms to produce a work that honors the dead and expresses comfort and hope for the living. All texts, and translations of the Latin, are provided.
