Dupre: Stations of the Cross
Palm Sunday, March 29 at 4 p.m.
Performed by Canon Director of Music Stephen Buzard and Dr. Carol Symes
Canon Director of Music Stephen Buzard performs Chemin de la Croix by French 20th-century organ composer Marcel Dupré. This work explores the traditional fourteen stations of the cross in poetry and music. This sonic tour de force explores the full range of the organ’s capabilities, exploring the full emotional arc of Christ’s final journey to the cross. This work began as improvised responses to poetry on the Stations of the Cross by Paul Claudel. Poet and translator Dr. Carol Symes reads her original metrical translation of these poems, giving the listener a new and more authentic experience of Dupré’s great masterpiece.
