The Requiem Mass is a musical presentation offered on behalf of
the dead. It traditionally is sung the day of burial and on each
anniversary of the individual’s death.
The requiem originated in the Roman Catholic Church and can be
traced back to at least the 2nd century but is probably
older.
It originated as a simple chant but has evolved dramatically
over the centuries.
Friday’s concert features narration by Charlie Sampson and
performances of components of Requiem Mass compositions by masters
including Mozart, Brahms, Andrew Lloyd Webber and others.
Performances include a full orchestra, soloists and the St.
Andrew UMC Festival Choir.
