Memory and the Work of Art

Ars Moriendi and Reliquary: Memorialization in Music
Wednesday, April 13, 7 p.m.
There is a long tradition of both personal and cultural memorialization in music that has given rise to musical forms, such as the lament and tombeau. Ars Moriendi, composed by Steven Mackey, was performed by the Jack Quartet. Geoffrey Burleson gave a solo recital of Reliquary, composed by Barbara White.
