They Shall Have Rest - Fauré & Rutter Requiems March 12, 13, 14, 2010 Exultate's 11th Festival Concert couples two of the most beloved Requiems ever composed: by the French Romantic Gabriel Fauré and British contemporary John Rutter. Fauré's Requiem conveys the traditional Latin text in a haunting minor mode, making way for the gorgeous soprano solo, Pie Jesu. John Rutter, in addition to much of the Latin Requiem, incorporates significant Bible verses to create some of the most moving passages in the English repertoire. These two Requiems presented together will be more than the sum of their parts. Don't miss this concert of exquisite beauty. Extra singers are needed for these concerts. (Click here if you are interested in auditioning for the Festival Choir.) NOTE: (Benefit Auction after the final performance on March 14th!)

Recently, Exultate performed the Mass in B Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. In connection with those performances we brought Bach's own personal Bible to the Twin Cities. Our conductor, Dr. Thomas Rossin wrote his dissertation on this Bible and the marginal notes left in it by Bach himself. American Public Media's program, "Speaking of Faith" has produced a wonderful multimedia slideshow on the Bible and the story of its discovery. We welcome you to view this wonderful presentation. See and hear about the discovery of Bach's Bible in a farm house in Michigan.
