Salisbury Musical Society is delighted to perform Duruflé’s: Requiem which is…without question…one of the most beautiful and timeless pieces of sacred music of the 20th century.
This is a requiem with themes of comfort, hope and peace which might resonate in response to the relentless news of global conflicts and horrors of war.
Duruflé’s Requiem will soothe your soul, granting you time to pause, to enjoy moments of serenity and stillness.
The choir will also perform Vaughan Williams: Toward the Unknown Region based on Walt Whitman’s poem.
The poem and the uplifting music urges us to leave safety and certainty behind, and to venture fearlessly into the future.
The final piece of music in the concert is Stanford’s: Songs of the Sea an exciting choral journey across the waters. This music evokes the power, the drama as well as the beauty of the sea in a memorable soundscape.
