Requiem for the LivingGood Friday at Grace Avenue UMC
Friday, March 29, 2024
7:00pm in the Sanctuary
The Grace Avenue Sanctuary Choir along with the chamber orchestra will be presenting Dan Forrest’s REQUIEM FOR THE LIVING. This beautiful setting uses some of the traditional Requiem texts, while also incorporating some modern, liturgical texts. Traditionally, a requiem is a prayer of rest for the deceased. However, in Mr. Forrest’s innovative work, the prayer becomes a plea for those who are left struggling through the pain of this life. Both the text and the melodies represent a movement from grief to light and hope for the future.
This piece was purchased by the Grace Avenue Sanctuary Choir in memory of the Rev. Joyce Cravens. The chamber orchestra will be one of the largest that Grace Avenue has ever had. You don’t want to miss this meaningful presentation during Holy Week.
The concert is free and open to the public.
