Summit Chorale is pleased to announce that the first concert of its' 102nd season, "Music for the Soul," will be held Saturday, November 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Prospect Presbyterian Church in Maplewood (646 Prospect St.).
Highlighting the evening's selections will be "Requiem" by Gabriel Fauré, one of his most well-known and beloved pieces. Composed between 1887 and 1890, Fauré's "Requiem" was eventually performed at his funeral in 1924 and was not performed in the United States until 1931. In the composer's own words, "Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest."
Among the evening's other selections are "Three Graduals for the Church Year" by Anton Bruckner, Felix Mendelssohn's "Te Deum" and the ethereal "Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre.
