Duruflé Requiem
Nov 22, 2026 at 2:00pm
Trinity Episcopal Church, Concord
Stylistic traditions and techniques spanning centuries are evident in selections for the November 22 concert, featuring Maurice Durufle’s “Requiem”. Though composed in 1947, Durufle based this work on the plainsong themes of the Mass for the Dead, various texts of which date back to ancient Jewish prayers and early Christian services. Gregorian chants provide the source of flowing melodies; harmonic colors reflect the influence of compatriots Ravel and Debussy. Performed in an appropriately resonant and beautiful space, his setting for chorus, organ, strings, trumpets and timpani will fulfill Durufle’s vision “of peace, of faith and hope.”
