Requiem’s a cappella arrangement will allow The Winnipeg Singers to take full advantage of our venue’s superb acoustics, which respond so well to the resonance of voices. This performance of Te Deum is made all the more special because it’s the 45th anniversary concert for both the MCO and The Winnipeg Singers.īut before Te Deum, we’ll hear extracts from Eleanor Daley’s Requiem, another moving contemporary choral work with a deep, contemplative quality. In it, choir, strings, piano and pre-recorded tape drift in out of the foreground to conjure an atmosphere that is serene and staggeringly beautiful. Still, local opportunities to enjoy a live performance of Pärt’s Te Deum are somewhat rare, given the work’s expansive orchestration. Works like Fratres, Spiegel im Spiegel, and Tabula Rasa have scored countless films ( There Will be Blood, The Place Beyond the Pines, Gravity), and he remains the most widely performed living composer. While the Estonian’s mystical music once inflamed Soviet cultural authorities, today it is practically a pop cultural phenomenon. It is perhaps because he is a musical giant that Pärt is capable of accomplishing this act of extreme flexibility. Musically, Arvo Pärt strikes an unusual pose: one foot in the minimalist tradition of the twentieth century, and the other all the way back in the music of the Middle Ages.
