Organ Vespers this Sunday
Feast of the Annunciation, 5:30 pm
The final Organ Vespers of the season will celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation, the occasion when Mary was met by the Angel Gabriel, and most notably Mary’s response, commonly known as the Magnificat. The music for this service will feature a free work by Rebecca Groom te Velde based on the Magnificat text, a triptych by Margaret Sandresky based on “Maria zart,” an old Marian devotional hymn, in addition to the “Gabriel” movement from Craig Phillips’ Archangel Suite. The Magnificat cycle used on this occasion is, again, by Samuel Scheidt.
