Works with Friends 

Richard Hynson 
Music Director/Conductor
Requiem Maurice Duruflé
Gloria Francis Poulenc
with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra

Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 7:30 pm
Christ King Parish
2604 N Swan Blvd  Milwaukee, WI MAP

In the singular style of 20th century French sacred music, organist and composer Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem uses rich, contemporary harmonies to enhance the ancient melodies of Gregorian chant.

American jazz and the cabaret style of popular music imbue Francis Poulenc’s Gloria.  His Gallic, populist compositional style brings the words of the Gloria to vivid, playful life.

Seven Last Words from the Cross James MacMillan  
Lux Aeterna 
Morten Lauridsen


Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 3:00 pm
The Basilica of St. Josaphat
2333 S 6th St, Milwaukee, WI 
MAP


Written within three years of each other, James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words from the Cross and Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna stand as two of the twentieth-century’s finest choral-orchestral works. In choosing texts and setting them with such profound emotional connection, each composer has grappled with death and the vision of life after death. Whether a believer or not, listeners can relate to the themes of sacrifice, loss, and imponderable sadness as heard in MacMillan’s work. Lauridsen takes a more sacred approach in his meditations on different ways in which light has been used as a metaphor for God, for redemption, and for paradise. By combining these two powerful works, we have created a listening experience that covers the gamut of emotions from the most devastated sorrow to the well-being inspired by redemption and the ecstatic joy of paradise.

Carmina Burana Carl Orff
with Bel Canto Boy Choirs and the Milwaukee Children’s Choir

Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 7:00 pm
The Milwaukee Theatre –Grand Rotunda
500 W Kilbourn Ave, Milwaukee, WI 
MAP

Be transported to the fascinating, earthy medieval life of the 13th century through Orff’s setting of selected poems in Carmina Burana.  This arrangement for two pianos and percussion allows the chorus and soloists to come to the forefront. This musical spectacle, performed in a theatrical space, promises to be a memorable experience for performers and audience alike.
