light eternal: non timebo mala
Our Spring 2026 program, light eternal: non timebo mala, will feature the chanted responses from the Officium Defunctorum (Office of the Dead), Orlando di Lasso’s Missa pro Defunctis, and works by David Lang.
A leading composer of the late Renaissance, di Lasso wrote over 500 motets and more than 50 masses, including the 1578 Missa pro Defunctis cum quator vocibus on our program. David Lang’s alleluia amen examines the two words that passed directly from the Hebrew of the Jewish liturgy to the Latin of the Christian Mass.
