Passion in Miniature

November 10th at 4 pm

This thoughtful program places a concert on the day of Martin Luther’s birth into a genre he would have been intimately familiar with - a passionate church service. In order to steep the liturgical purposes of the text in drama, the orchestration of “Passion In Miniature” moves from the archaic organ to harpsichord and finally to modern piano. The grand piano is the first sound heard, though not in a familiar setting. Claude Debussy first awakens our senses with a striking musical imitation of ancient incense. What follows is an emotional collage of music and text: prayer, prelude, opening hymn, offertory, confession, closing hymn, benediction.
