LUX CAELESTIS: A PRISM OF SACRED MUSIC
November 10, 2019
Lux Caelestis: A Prism of Sacred Music filled our venues with transcendent music. Central to the concert was Timothy Kramer’s Lux Caelestis, a song cycle of texts about light from five separate religious traditions: Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Roman Catholicism. Each piece illuminated different aspects of light, the eternal, God, and fire throughout: divine, powerful, creative, sacred, luminous, guiding, and loving. Featured as well were the ethereal Allegri Miserere, the mystical O virtus sapiente by Hildegard von Bingen, and the engaging Cecilia, Busy Like a Bee by Cecilia McDowall.
A portion of free-will donations was shared with the Battered Women’s Shelter of Akron, a partnership connected to our season theme of “Women’s Voices Resounding”.
