Concert information
Anton Bruckner composed his Requiem in D Minor at the young age of 24 in memory of a friend of his father's who was his patron. The work was greatly influenced by the Viennese classical style. He revised the work at the age of 70 in 1894 and held it in high regard throughout his career, even though his setting never enjoyed the popularity of similar works by Mozart or Verdi in the concert repertoire.
Bruckner set the text of the Requiem Mass in a relatively compact form in terms of extent and scoring. The range of compositional colors stretches from Alpine-influenced writing for male voice choir (Hostias), to a five-part choral movement (Sanctus) and an unaccompanied movement (Requiem), to movements with choir and soloists.
The Second half of the concert will feature a musical resurrection of sorts of the Missa Adolorata by Antonio Caldara. Assembled and arranged by one of our own members (Sebastian Tsai) over a number of years using portions gathered from all over the globe this will be the modern premier of a work not heard since 1717! Truly an event you wont want to miss and be a part of this history making performance.
