About the programme

The Requiem by the English choral conductor and composer John Rutter (* 1945) builds a bridge from the liturgy of the Catholic funeral mass to the Anglican rites. For example, he dispenses with parts of the Latin Missa defunctorum and replaces them with verses of Psalms from the Book of Common Prayer, which has been used in England since the 17th century. The Three Meditations for cello and orchestra emerged from the commissioned work Mass, which Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990) composed in 1971 for the inauguration of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. to commemorate the slain president.
