Prater Promise
Vaughan Williams Lark Ascending
Mozart Requiem
Come hear some of the most sublime and meditative music in the repertoire, beginning with Iowa composer Jeffrey Prater’s extremely personal and autobiographical work Promise. In the Lark Ascending, Vaughan Williams finds inspiration not only in English folk themes, but in a poem by the English poet George Meredith. This orchestral romance offers an impressionistic image of the lark's song echoing throughout the English countryside. Finishing the program, Mozart’s Requiem is arguably the composer’s greatest achievement. Though left to others to complete after his untimely death, it remains to this day one of the most significant settings of the sacred text.
