“Totentanz”: A Musical Meditation on Mortality
To depart is a fundamental experience — one that we may have collectively experienced all too frequently over the last three years. We invite you to reflect and meditate with us through a concert of German music from the Renaissance and the early 20th century. Songs and motets by Eccard, Hassler, Isaac, Schein, and Schütz express the sorrow for the departed, while giving solace and hope to the living. The centerpiece, Totentanz (Dance of Death) composed by Hugo Distler in 1934, draws its text from a Medieval morality play in which Death has a final dialog with people of all walks of life.
