SUMMARY:Saint Ann’s presents Faure Requiem in Lenten Vespers Service- 
 St. Ann's\, Old Lyme
DESCRIPTION:Saint Ann’s Episcopal Church in Old Lyme is pleased to inv
 ite the public to a Vespers service featuring Gabriel Faure's Requiem an
 d organ works. The service will take place on March 30\, 2025\, at 4:00p
 m.\nPremiering in Paris in 1888\, Gabriel Faure’s Requiem is one of th
 e most cherished of Requiem masses\, often now performed in concert and 
 not within the original context of a burial mass for the departed. Faure
  wrote of this work\, "Everything I managed to entertain by way of relig
 ious illusion I put into my Requiem\, which moreover is dominated from b
 eginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.” “
 Requiem” originates from the first words for this rite in the Roman tr
 adition\, requiem aeternam dona eis\, Domine (“Give them eternal rest�
 ��”)\, which are the words that open Faure’s Requiem.\nThe Requiem w
 ill be set within an early evening Vespers service\, continuing the anci
 ent custom of prayer at the time when daylight faded and the lamps were 
 lit. Vespers has also been called the “evening sacrifice” of prayer.
  Psalm 141:2\, “Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense\, 
 the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice\,” has been tradit
 ionally associated with vespers.\nThe Faure Requiem is particularly appr
 opriate to be offered during the season of Lent\, when Christians around
  the world reflect on their mortality through intentional practices of p
 rayer\, meditation and fasting. We hope that all who attend this Vespers
  service may find an oasis of peace and refreshment during these unsettl
 ed times.\nThe Requiem will be conducted by Saint Ann’s Music Director
  Hector Migliacci\, with Simon Holt accompanying on organ. The choir wil
 l be comprised of singers from the choirs of Saint Ann’s\, the First C
 ongregational Church of Old Lyme\, St. John’s\, Niantic\, and The Angl
 ican Singers. In addition to Faure’s Requiem\, the program will includ
 e organ solos  by Kathleen Cooper and Simon Holt\, performing works by 
 J L Krebs and J S Bach\;  Migliacci will also present a trumpet solo by
  George Thalben-Ball.\nAll are welcome to this offering of seasonal musi
