Description: "An American
Requiem is a monumental work of choral music by the composer James
DeMars. Following the 1992 Los Angeles riots subsequent to the Rodney
King trial, Dr. James DeMars, a professor of Music Composition at
Arizona State University, was commissioned by the Art Renaissance
Foundation to write a large memorial work that would contribute to
bringing the American community together. The 75-minute choral work,
entitled An American Requiem, took a full year to be written and
orchestrated. The Foundation dedicated the Requiem to 'all Americans who
dedicated their lives to building this great nation.' Conductor Ryan
Murray preludes each event with a short talk about the music and the
special magic called choral singing.” |
