The acclaimed British composer is visiting St. Louis this weekend for the premiere of her “Ceaselessly Weaving Your Name,” a conflation of Homer and Kabir. Presented by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus, it complements her earlier commission for the Chorus, “Aquileia”, and forms part of a program titled RETURN AND REDISCOVERY. Other works on this theme will include Peter Cornelius’s “Drei Psalmlieder” (based on Bach), idiosyncratic reconstructions of Gesualdo by Stravinsky, and two scholarly editions of fragmentary works by John Sheppard and Gabriele Fattorini. The selections also include Rorem’s cycle “From An Unknown Past” and choral songs by Geoffrey Burgon & Mátyás Seiber, topped off by Roy Harris’s arrangement of “He’s Coming Back.”
