BEVERIDGE: Yizkor Requiem
Thomas Beveridge’s Yizkor Requiem, dedicated to the memory of the composer’s parents, is a remarkable interweaving of elements common to Jewish and Roman Catholic liturgies. A Cantor takes the leading role in this work, which combines sections of the Latin Requiem with the Kaddish and other Jewish texts to form a musical “sacred bridge.”
