Ensemble Con Fuoco marks All Souls with a Requiem across centuries, pairing Tomás Luis de Victoria’s Missa pro defunctis – drawn from his 1605 Officium Defunctorum, the summit of Spanish Renaissance polyphony – with Kerensa Briggs’ Requiem (2022), a contemporary setting for mezzo-soprano, choir, and organ rooted in the same plainchant tradition that shaped Victoria’s writing. Each work turns grief toward consolation in the language of its own age.
The November 1 event will be presented in concert format, with Michael Unger on organ and mezzo-soprano soloist Lauren McAllister; tickets are required.
The November 2 event will be sung within an All Souls Day Roman Catholic Mass at St. Martin of Tours; no ticket is required for this liturgy.
