Brahms’s German Requiem beautifully comforts and consoles the living. It is the perfect balm for our audience (and singers) after this long absence from the stage. The Requiem will be bookended by two works by Zachary Wadsworth. The prelude Battle-Flags (2015) is “meant to welcome a North American audience into the Requiem’s spaces of memory and ritual.” Luminous Voices has commissioned an epilogue, combining the choral, piano and solo voices. Wadsworth writes, “this new composition for Luminous Voices will complete the frame by appending a postlude to the Brahms Requiem. I hope that it will create the opportunity to connect Brahms's humanist themes directly to issues of justice and reconciliation in our own time.”
