"The Holocaust Cantata"Sunday, May 23, 2027 at 3:30 p.m.
Presbyterian Church of Clearfield 119 N Second Street, Clearfield, PA Composer Donald McCullough says about Holocaust Cantata:
"Based on research of original music sung by incarcerated inmates in Holocaust concentration camps, this cantata is an emotional, musical journey through one of the bleakest episodes in human history. Working from translations of original Polish materials found in the archives of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and starting with just a single line of melody, McCullough has fashioned a haunting choral tribute to the 6 million Jews who were systematically persecuted and murdered as well as to the millions of other individuals the Nazi Party classified as 'undesirables'....What emerges from the insanity is one of history's worst examples of man's inhumanity to man is a sense of music's life-affirming powers." The original music presented here serves as a living memory of those who lost their lives in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. The spoken passages serve as stark primary accounts of the daily life, reality, and atrocities of the prisoners. Additional music helps us,the audience, reconcile these events in the modern day. Pieces, including a setting of the Eastern Orthodox Kontakion for the Departed and Johannes Brahms' How Lovely is They Dwelling Place from his Ein Deutches Requiem, help bring the way we view the departed into perspective. A new setting of the hymn It is Well with My Soul, by the Choral Society's own Bennett Salter, re-affirms the joy we have in the present day as we move forward. |
