The Perilous Chapel
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Lou Harrison's 1948 ballet "The Perilous Chapel" begins innocently enough, but quickly arches into a ceremonial struggle between the forces of anarchy and the divine (tune in during our first hour to see which one wins).
We also hear Morten Lauridsen's beautiful and compelling choral work, "O magnum mysterium." And later in the evening, we offer an exclusive treat: a live recording of New York's Collegiate Chorale in Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana," recorded live at the Verbier Festival in 2007.
Bela Bartok / An Evening in the Village
Howard Hanson / Pastorale for Oboe and Piano
Olivier Messiaen / Fete Des Belles Eaux
