Illuminarae
Organ Concert – Friday, March 1, 7:00pm
St. Paul’s Director of Music and Organist, Joe Hammer, will present an hour long concert on Friday, March 1 at 7:00pm. The performance will feature compositions by 20th century French composers Camille Saint Saëns, Eugène Gigout and Olivier Messiaen, Belgian composer Joseph Jongen, and American composer Gary Bachlund. The concert will culminate with Olivier Messiaen’s
Apparition de l'église éternelle
(Apparition of the eternal church), with special lighting effects projected throughout the sanctuary – walls, ceiling and floor – illuminating the arc of the composition. Messiaen described the piece by quoting from the hymn
Cœlestis urbs Jerusalem
(Breviary hymn for the office of the dedication of a church): "Scissors, hammer, suffering, and tests, tailoring and polishing the elected persons, living stones of the spiritual edifice." A dessert and coffee reception will follow the concert in Gardner Hall, featuring special and delectable cakes and sweets.
