April 29, 2010, will be the East Coast Premiere of Mater in Memoriam: For Irene, in Albany New York, at the College of the Rose, Massry Center for Fine Arts, Recital Hall. This version of the Requiem is for SSAA, Flute, Horn, Vibraphone, and Piano. Performing will be The College of the Saint Rose Women's Chorale, a 50 voice chorus, plus dancer and graphics, under the direction of Dr. Joesph Eppink, Associate Professor of Music. The concert is at 7:30 PM with reception afterwards. Joseph tells me the women are very excited about this performance, so if you are in the area, they would welcome your presence.
For more information on the poetry and background of this Requiem, please got to the wes page Music Notes. Below is one of the poems which is prominently featured in the work, which includes all original poems by Sue Moore and Naomi Stephan.
Glimmering girl
And maybe I shall go with you, my glimmering girl
To the land of Glyn, to the land of Myrrh
Where cats wear gleaming fine faces and purple fur
And the daisies bend down singing lowly: murr, murr
And maybe we shall go there together my girl
Decked out in moth's wings and juniper fur
To the opera in the land of Myrrh
The one beyond reckon beyond call and ken
That harks back when
And maybe we shall go there my glimmering girl
In summertime, in bumblebee time
And maybe we shall go there, my glimmering, glimmering, girl
- Sue Carroll Moore, ASCAP
