A Service of Remembrance and Celebration

Featuring
Requiem by John Rutter
Presented by the Covenant Choir, soloists, instrumental ensemble

Sunday, November 5 at 5:00 pm
(Prelude begins at 4:45 pm)

The service will celebrate the lives of those who have passed with a special reading of the names of our church family and friends who have died in the last year. It will also celebrate those saints' lives that continue to be a part of our eternal light. Through music, scripture, poetry, and readings, this service offers hope, reflection, healing, celebration, peace, and joy. 

In John Rutter’s own words:

“The Requiem was written in 1985 and dedicated to the memory of my father, who had died the previous year. In writing it, I was influenced and inspired by the example of Faure. I doubt whether any specific musical resemblances can be traced, but I am sure that Faure’s Requiem crystallized my thoughts about the kind of Requiem I wanted to write: intimate rather than grandiose, contemplative and lyric rather than dramatic, and ultimately moving towards light rather than darkness – the “lux aeterna” of the closing text.”
