This January Hudson Chorale will pair Mozart’s passionate, beloved Requiem with
Christopher Tin’s The Lost Birds, a poignant contemporary work that has already drawn
much acclaim. Mozart died while composing the Requiem, so much of the orchestration and several movements were completed by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr.
In The Lost Birds, Grammy Award-winning composer Christopher Tin sets poems by Emily Dickinson, Christina Rossetti, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Sara Teasdale to glorious music that evokes the beauty of birds, the sorrow of their loss, and the hope that in recognizing both, humanity can save itself.
