Music: Sun Dec 3

Music suggestive of hope is featured in this morning’s Centering Music. Colombian composer Adolfo Mejia’s delicate Prelude, subtitled “Luminosidad de aguas”, was originally a harp solo, but works effectively in this piano transcription. American composer William Bolcom’s “Waitin’” is a tender hymn, which offers spiritual solace to all who toil in faith. The morning’s Offertory, Chopin’s so-called “Raindrop” Prelude, also holds forth the hope of transfiguration as its serene opening material returns after a turbulent central section. CUUC’s Choir is also on hand with a celebratory Alleluia as well as a timeless expression of love from The Beatles. Read on for programming details.
