Duruflé Requiem

Mesmerizing chant-inspired harmonies make this 20th-century Requiem a calming, meditative and engaging choral favorite.  Stanford University Organist Dr. Robert Huw Morgan provides masterful interpretation of Duruflé’s organ-only accompaniment for a captivating performance rounded out by familiar sacred choruses by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Rachmaninoff and Górecki, and sonorous organ repertoire by J.S. Bach.

This concert is preceded by a Preludes pre-concert talk at 3:15 pm.

Please note: on Saturday, March 20, 2010, at 8:00 p.m., Schola Cantorum will be guest artists at Stanford Memorial Church performing with Dr. Robert Huw Morgan, Stanford University organist.  They will perform the Duruflé Requiem and other sacred choral works.  Tickets will be available at the door; there are no advance sales.  This concert is sponsored by the Office for Religious Life at Stanford University.  More information is available here.
