Soli Deo Gloria Choir Brad Peterson, Conductor Presents Johannes Brahms' A German Requiem Opus 45 A Requiem of Consolation With Chorus, Orchestra and Soloists7:00 pm May 1, 2010 First United Methodist Church 420 N. Nevada Avenue Colorado Springs, Colorado “The musical form is a tightly wrought edifice, a seven movement arch with the music of brightest comfort at its center. The first and last movements echo each other in conveying blessings, first upon the mourners, finally upon the dead. The third and fifth movements feature soloists in meditations, the baritone seeking hope, the soprano bestowing it. Nestled in the middle is the shortest movement, the gorgeous chorus of tranquility, “How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place.” Troy Peters The work will be accompanied by full orchestra, with soprano soloist Linda Ellis Cummings and baritone soloist Jeremy Vreeman. No tickets are required (a free will offering will be accepted). Please bring a non-perishable food item for Care and Share. We hope to see you there!
