The performance promises to be deeply moving and a soulful Palm Sunday awakening as the music reflects the spiritual expression of the composers.
Duruflé’s “Requiem” encourages deep reflection on the human experience and the ultimate mystery of death. Many consider it to be Duruflé’s greatest achievement. A work conceived for a lofty Gothic space, Washington National Cathedral offers a unique perspective of the “Requiem,” not unlike being in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.
