Music of Remembrance and Gratitude

Woolsey Hall, New Haven
Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living can be best described in the composer’s own words: “…the five movements form a narrative just as much for the living, and their own struggle with pain and sorrow, as for the dead.” This 40-minute contemporary masterpiece is a highly moving work that will inspire you with its lush sounds, comforting words, and delicate sonorities. The Chorale will be performing this work in the expanded chamber music version. The second half of the concert will feature thought-provoking works based around the topic of gratitude by composers J.S. Bach, Eriks Esenwalds, Craig Hella Johnson, Christopher Theophanidis, and Gwyneth Walker.
