 Cantala Program Notes
Stephen M. Sieck & Phillip A. Swan, co-conductors
Anthony Capparelli, accompanist War Requiem, op. 66 notes by Stephen M. Sieck

It is easy for us to forget that war was less precise back then. When the
Soprano 1 Alto 1 great Coventry Cathedral was bombed out in a German air raid in 1940,
it was part of the standard campaign to crush the will of the opponent by
Abigail Cahill Alysa Bennett hitting the cultural centers of their great cities – as we did in Dresden, for
Samantha Eichelberger Kelsi Brown example. So it is all the more striking that the rebuilding of the Coventry
Emily Flack Claire Conard Cathedral purposefully left the remains of the old structure up as a
Christy Go Elisabeth Foran reminder of the cost of war. Coventry wanted to honor the consecration of
Sylvia Middleton Heidi Dinkler the new cathedral with a musical commission, so in 1958 they contacted
Morgen Moraine Deme Hellwig the celebrated British composer, Benjamin Britten, giving him three years
Alex Koszewski Gabriella Makuc to construct a work that would fit the ceremony.
Mackenzie Rech Kayla Siembieda
Maggie Ward Elena Stabile It seems, in hindsight, like there has never been a better match for a
Marika Straw composer and an occasion such as this. Benjamin Britten was born in
Lowestoft, England in 1913 to a comfortable middle-class family that
Soprano 2 nurtured and supported his truly extraordinary gifts in music. His most
Alto 2 influential teacher was Frank Bridge, a composer who introduced the
Alexa Blumenstock young Britten to the European 1920s artist culture that espoused pacifism
Katie Bultman Elyse Brotzman and global consciousness. Shortly after college, Britten worked with the
Sarah Coffman Brienne Colston great poet W.H. Auden, who, like Bridge, pushed Britten to find his voice
Ilana Goldman Isabel Dammann as an artist, and who saw, in Britten, a composer with an extraordinary
Clare Lauer Carly Gaeth sensitivity to great poetry.
Jenna Lindsey Leslie Halverson
Katie Mueller Melina Jaharis It is through his distinct ability to layer ideas on top of each other that
Kirsten O’Donnell Kiera Jett Britten triumphed with War Requiem. First, Britten dove deeply into the
Sophie Scholtz Anna McMorrow poetry of the World War I poet Wilfred Owen, who, like Britten, found
Kelsey Wang only tragedy and pity in the act of war. Britten carved up Owen’s poetry
and interwove it with the Latin Mass for the Dead, so that each poem
both comments on and interacts with the traditional rites. If the choir
offers the traditional prayer for rest, complete with ringing bells, Owen
Officers responds, through the tenor soloist, “No mockeries for them from prayers
or bells, nor any voice of mourning save the choirs – the shrill, demented

The choir, soprano soloist, and large orchestra sing the Latin Requiem;

remove from the stage, symbolizing the innocence of childhood and its
distance from our worldly turmoil. Third, Britten wrote the solo parts to
be performed by singers from the three countries who had lost the most in
 Viking Chorale
World War II: the British tenor, Peter Pears; the German baritone, Dietrich Stephen M. Sieck, conductor
Fischer-Dieskau, and the Russian soprano, Galina Vishnevskaya. Marshall Cuffe, accompanist

These multiple layers come together most potently in the final movement. Soprano 1 Alto 1 Tenor 1
The baritone and tenor sing from a poem entitled “Strange Meeting”,
Morgan Arshonsky Jazmin Astwood-Padilla Charlie Aldrich *
wherein two opposing soldiers realize that they are meeting in the afterlife, Kerstin Brolsma Ivy Boudreau Jacques Anderson Bernier
having each died in battle, and reconcile themselves, saying “let us sleep Kelsey Geraghty Amanda Bourbonais Jim McCrohan
now”; the chorus and soprano soloist sing a prayer for the eternal rest Emily Hoylman Sarah Buksa Garrett Medlock *~
of the dead; and the boy-choir hovers above and apart, likewise asking Alice Jamison Dakota Carlson Matt Kierzek*
for peace for the departed souls. Thus Britten’s War Requiem is an Kate Johnson T.J. Clark Charlie Martin

Stephen M. Sieck & Phillip A. Swan, co-conductors
Anthony Capparelli, accompanist War Requiem, op. 66 notes by Stephen M. Sieck

It is easy for us to forget that war was less precise back then. When the
Soprano 1 Alto 1 great Coventry Cathedral was bombed out in a German air raid in 1940,
it was part of the standard campaign to crush the will of the opponent by
Abigail Cahill Alysa Bennett hitting the cultural centers of their great cities – as we did in Dresden, for
Samantha Eichelberger Kelsi Brown example. So it is all the more striking that the rebuilding of the Coventry
Emily Flack Claire Conard Cathedral purposefully left the remains of the old structure up as a
Christy Go Elisabeth Foran reminder of the cost of war. Coventry wanted to honor the consecration of
Sylvia Middleton Heidi Dinkler the new cathedral with a musical commission, so in 1958 they contacted
Morgen Moraine Deme Hellwig the celebrated British composer, Benjamin Britten, giving him three years
Alex Koszewski Gabriella Makuc to construct a work that would fit the ceremony.
Mackenzie Rech Kayla Siembieda
Maggie Ward Elena Stabile It seems, in hindsight, like there has never been a better match for a
Marika Straw composer and an occasion such as this. Benjamin Britten was born in
Lowestoft, England in 1913 to a comfortable middle-class family that
Soprano 2 nurtured and supported his truly extraordinary gifts in music. His most
Alto 2 influential teacher was Frank Bridge, a composer who introduced the
Alexa Blumenstock young Britten to the European 1920s artist culture that espoused pacifism
Katie Bultman Elyse Brotzman and global consciousness. Shortly after college, Britten worked with the
Sarah Coffman Brienne Colston great poet W.H. Auden, who, like Bridge, pushed Britten to find his voice
Ilana Goldman Isabel Dammann as an artist, and who saw, in Britten, a composer with an extraordinary
Clare Lauer Carly Gaeth sensitivity to great poetry.
Jenna Lindsey Leslie Halverson
Katie Mueller Melina Jaharis It is through his distinct ability to layer ideas on top of each other that
Kirsten O’Donnell Kiera Jett Britten triumphed with War Requiem. First, Britten dove deeply into the
Sophie Scholtz Anna McMorrow poetry of the World War I poet Wilfred Owen, who, like Britten, found
Kelsey Wang only tragedy and pity in the act of war. Britten carved up Owen’s poetry
and interwove it with the Latin Mass for the Dead, so that each poem
both comments on and interacts with the traditional rites. If the choir
offers the traditional prayer for rest, complete with ringing bells, Owen
