Take a choral journey through divine grace and mortal sin with this pairing of Gabriel Faure’s Requiem in D Minor alongside SEVEN: A Cycle of Sins, a new song cycle commissioned by MasterVoices.
The Fauré Requiem is beloved for its serenity and promise of eternal rest. SEVEN provides a different texture, with contemporary interpretations of the seven deadly sins by seven composer-lyricists:
Michael Abels | LUST
Will Aronson and Dolan Morgan | GLUTTONY
William C. Banfield and Michael R. Jackson | SLOTH
Jason Robert Brown | ENVY
Heather Christian | WRATH
Ted Hearne | GREED
Gregory Spears | VANITY
This two-night event promises vocal music at its most creative and thrilling. Following MasterVoices’ world premiere, SEVEN: A Cycle of Sins will receive regional premieres by Los Angeles Master Chorale and VocalEssence.
Conceived & Conducted by Ted Sperling
