Listening Session

  • Church of the Cross 201 9th Avenue North Hopkins, MN, 55343 United States (map)

Lent is a perfect time of year to contemplate Christ's life and His goodness to us. One way we can do that is through the arts. Join Deacon Joel for a contemplative listening session celebrating God's great gift of music. For the past two years, we have listened to Bach's St. Matthew's Passion and Handel's Messiah. This year, we will listen to two Requiems.  A Requiem is a mass written for the repose of the dead. We will listen to two very different Requiems. We will listen to A Requiem by French composer Gabriel Fauré. We will then listen to Johannes Brahms's German Requiem. The Faure piece is a bit over half an hour, and the Brahms piece is about an hour. With a natural break in between, you'll have an opportunity to focus on one piece if that's all you have time for.
