The UUMC Choir and friends present "Eternal Light: A Requiem" by Howard Goodall. Alongside the traditional Latin & Greek text of the Mass for the dead, Goodall places hopeful and comforting English poetry from the last 500 years. This creates a beautiful juxtaposition of ancient sacred texts- "Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison" (Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy) with English reassurances- "Close now thine eyes and rest secure, thy soul is safe enough, thy body sure." Many of the english sections are brought to us in solos by our congregations Choral Section Leaders: Andres Ojeda, George Sani, Annisha Mackenzie, and Cami Everitt. The accompaniment of this work will include local Austin harpist Shana Norton, and a chamber string ensemble.
