Cascadian Chorale: In Memoriam
Saturday,

The Cascadian Chorale here presents words and music written
for those who have passed on. Peter Winkler’s Requiem aeternam
commemorates the 9/11 attacks, and John Muehleisen’s Peace,
Night, Sleep is dedicated to the victims of the recent Japanese
earthquake and tsunami. Shakespeare reminds us, through music of
Ralph Vaughan Williams, that “our little life is rounded with a
sleep.” Bach’s motet Komm, Jesu, komm illustrates how death
may always be greeted with grace, melody, and hope.
