In speaking of his Sixth Symphony, Sibelius said that “it is, above all, a poem,” and told his publisher that the music is like “pure, cold water.” You’ll sense that purity in the ecstatic string-playing that opens the work. As the symphony progresses it gains in emotional intensity before slowly fading away. Peace and calm of another kind prevail in Duruflé’s incandescent Requiem (featuring the Lay Family Concert Organ), which begins: “Eternal peace grant unto them, o Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon them.” It’s not a rafter-shaking Requiem, but one whose music speaks of consolation and acceptance. Experience this one in a lifetime choral event with Guest Conductor Matthew Halls.
