Bard Music Festival Presents
Program Six • The Spiritual Quest
7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Featuring James Bagwell, the Bard Festival Chorale, and the renovated organ of the Rhinebeck Episcopal Church of the Messiah, played by Renée Anne Louprette GCP ’19, this program intersperses organ solos with masterworks of the Czech choral tradition.
Two late Martinů works—Vigilie, his sole composition for organ, and The Mount of Three Lights, which sets texts from Czech folk song, contemporary travel-writing, and the New Testament—will be heard alongside the opening movements of Dvořák’s Mass in D, in which old church modes meet modern harmonies; the finale from Musica dominicalis, an organ symphony by the late Czech composer Petr Eben; three works for male voices by Leoš Janáček; and an organ solo from the same composer’s Glagolitic Mass, long recognized as a celebration of Slavic culture.
