Federico Mompou's 6 Charmes, or "Spells", are dispersed throughout this morning's musical selections. At the heart of them is a spell for healing, but, as a cycle, they make a unified appeal for wellness and wholeness. In the Centering music is an arrangement of the Spiritual "Oh, He raise a poor Lazarus," a reference to religion's ultimate healer, and the Interlude is a tenderly prayerful movement composed by Robert Schumann even as his mental health declined. The CUUC Choir Quartet is on hand as well, with a reminder of the salutary effects of music. Read on for programming details, and stay tuned for spoken introductions.
