The Sacred Veil is a 12-movement work

from Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre and poet, lyricist and historian Charles Anthony Silvestri. It was premiered at Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, in February 2019, conducted by the composer. Silvestri’s wife, Julie, died of ovarian cancer at age 36 in 2005, leaving two young children. His texts (written collaboratively with Whitacre) and the intimate, compelling score

tell a story of courtship, love, loss and the search for solace. The text for the piece draws on Julie’s blogs and poetry/lyrics written by Charles Anthony Silvestri and Eric Whitacre.Although inspired by this extraordinary and moving friendship, the piece does not mention Julie by name. It shares a very human journey — one that many of us can relate to. The Sacred Veil was commissioned by the Los Angeles Master

Chorale, Grant Gershon, Artistic Director, and co-commissioned by Monash Academy of Performing Arts — MLIVE and NTR ZaterdagMatinee for the

Netherlands Radio Choir.

The Sacred Veil is published by Boosey & Hawkes and distributed globally by Hal Leonard.

As a guest conductor he has drawn capacity audiences to concerts with many of the world’s leading orchestras and choirs in venues from Carnegie Hall (New York) to the Royal Albert Hall (London). Insatiably curious and a lover of all types of music, Eric has worked with legendary Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer, as well as British pop icons Laura Mvula, Imogen Heap and Annie Lennox.

His composition, Deep Field, was inspired by the achievements of the Hubble Space Telescope and became the foundation for

a pioneering collaboration with NASA, the Space Telescope Science Institute, and film-makers 59 Productions. His long-form work The Sacred Veil, a profound meditation on love, life and loss, was premiered by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, conducted by the composer, and released on Signum Records.

Acclaimed lyricist, poet, author, and composer Charles Anthony Silvestri specializes in providing bespoke poetry for choral composers, especially texts in Latin, both sacred and secular. He enjoys the creative challenges and rewards of the collaborative process and has provided lyrics for many composers in different stages of their careers and for a wide variety of commissions and occasions. “Collaboration between composer and poet is magic,” Silvestri argues. “It opens for the composer opportunities for organic and dynamic creation not possible with previously published poetry and gives the poet the thrill and responsibility that his words will be sung--not read--and will be heard attached to an emotional soundtrack. There’s magic and power in the marriage of words and music.” He is the author of more than fifty published works in collaboration with celebrated composers such as Eric Whitacre, Dan Forrest, Ola Gjeilo, and

Kim Arnesen, and for groups such as The King’s Singers, VOCES8, San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, the Tallis Scholars, Westminster Choir College, the Turtle Creek Chorale, and the Houston Grand Opera. Silvestri’s words have been sung by thousands of choirs around the world, and have been heard on television and radio, on Grammy-winning recordings, and in the world’s magnificent spaces such as the Sydney Opera House, Disney Hall, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, the National Cathedral, Royal Albert Hall, Westminster Abbey, King’s College, the Vatican, and even in orbit. Born in 1965 in Las Vegas, Silvestri has lived in Los Angeles and Rome. He currently lives in Lawrence, Kansas, and teaches History at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. charlesanthonysilvestri.com

The Sacred VeilGo, Lovely Rose Eric Whitacre

Go, lovely rose.Tell her that wastes her time and me,That now she knows,When I resemble her to thee,How sweet and fair she seems to be.

Tell her that’s young,And shuns to have her graces spied,That hadst thou sprungIn deserts, where no men abide,Thou must have uncommended died.

Small is the worthOf beauty from the light retired;Bid her come forth,Suffer herself to be desired,And not blush so to be admired.

Then die! that sheThe common fate of all things rareMay read in thee;How small a part of time they shareThat are so wondrous sweet and fair!

EDMUND WALLER

Sing Gently Eric WhitacreMay we sing together, always.May our voice be soft.May our singing be music for othersand may it keep others aloft.

Sing gently, always.Sing gently as one.

May we stand together, always.May our voice be strong.May we hear the singing andMay we always sing along.

Sing gently, always.Sing gently as one.

1. The Veil Opens

Whenever there is birth or death,The sacred veil between the worldsGrows thin and opens slightly up,Just long enough for Love to slip,Silent, either in or outOf this our fragile, fleeting world,Whence or whither a new home waits.And our beloved ones draw near,In rapt anticipation, orIn weary gratitude, they stand;Our loved ones stand so close, right here,Just on the other sideOf Eternity. CHARLES ANTHONY SILVESTRI

2. In a Dark and Distant Year

In a dark and distant year,A wand’rer ancient and austere,He surrounds himself with books he’s never read.He was a child then, the world inside his head.

He would often wonder, “WhoCould love a dreamer such as you?”And so he trusted no one’s shadow but his own.He was a fool then, and he was all alone.

Then quite to his surprise,Passing there before his eyes,A girl unlikely, gently laughing by the shore.She had unlocked his heart and let his spirit soar!

8. Delicious Times

My hair started to fall out at precisely 1:00 on my birthday.

By Thursday it was making a terrible mess, so the kids helped me shave off whatever was left. They’d pick up my hair from the ground and slap it on my head and say, “You need more hair!” and they would laugh and laugh. Then at bath time I wore my wig, and they would beg me to take it off and put it back on again - they howled with laughter.

At bedtime, when my little one plays with my hair, she just stroked my head and said, “It’s so soft and clean!” She says, “Mommy, your hair went bye-bye but it’ll be back soon!” I was

most worried about her because she loves my hair so much, but she is just fine!

Today I visited my oldest at school and he shouted, “Hey everybody! My mom has a wig!” He was the star of the class as all the kindergarten stared, open-mouthed, in wonderment. It’s been a very funny week. The kids have been amazing, and we’ve had some really delicious times together. JULIA LAWRENCE SILVESTRI

9. One Last Breath

In a dark and distant yearThe wand’rer weary, full of fear,Confronts a fated force more powerful than life —A carriage made of seaHas come to take his wife.

The Sacred Veil

The waves too dark and deep to swim,He hears his love cry out to him,Her piercing anguish rising high above the foam.“Please don’t let go of meFor you, you are my home!”

From the shore he sees his brideAs she fights hard against the tide.He swears a sacred vow that every loved one keeps.He steels himself,Takes one last breath, and leaps. ERIC WHITACRE

10. Dear Friends

Dear friends: tonight I feel that I must ask you to pray.

I just got out of the hospital tonight and I received some bad

news. The scan showed that I had numerous liver and peritoneal metastases. My doctor said this meant I most likely had about two months to live.

I am now asking you to pray as you have never prayed before. Please don’t pray that I will have a peaceful death. Please don’t feel pity for me. Just pray hard. Pray that I will be healed in a miraculous, supernatural way. Pray that God will give me wisdom as to what to do next. Fight with me, don’t give up on me. JULIA LAWRENCE SILVESTRI

11. You rise, I fall

Listening to your labored breath,Your struggle ends as mine begins.You rise; I fall.

Requiem Novum

Requiem Novum – A Response of Hope and

Wonder came to life after I had spent years carrying both a hypothetical but also a pragmatic concept in mind. The pragmatic idea was two-fold and very simple: firstly, I believed that a requiem should be in every composer’s portfolio, and secondly, I wanted to compose a large-scale work for orchestra, soloist and choir. The hypothetical aspect aligned with the fact that I had a strong wish, being a man of faith, to bring to life through music a belief that we should

not be afraid of death but instead feel comfort in the knowledge that God will take care of us after our passing. This faith, however, should not deny family and friends the right to mourn. I wanted to use the traditional Latin requiem texts, which I deeply respect as ancient Christian pillars, and to encompass the words inherent drama in my music. But I also felt that additional texts allowing the concept of comfort were needed. Where should I find them?The answer came when

by good fortune I met the American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri at the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) National Convention in Minneapolis, 2017. We became friends and when I told him about my wish to write a requiem using both new texts alongside the traditional Latin, he quickly came up with the idea that the voice of the deceased could send words of comfort from beyond the veil. The choir would represent the mourning congregation and the soprano soloist the comfort from heaven;

it felt very convincing and inspiring and I am thrilled with the wonderful poems Tony wrote.As important cathartic occasions, funerals give a chance to be together in sadness. This fellowship in grief, hope, fear and strength is represented by the choir throughout the work. The music they perform is largely dark but moves through the ancient liturgy to end in a more settled and reconciled attitude towards the end. In contrast to the choir the soprano soloist’s role is to persuade us to believe the wonders and

20

Requiem Novum

perfect love in which she is enfolded. All this obviously calls for a much brighter and reassuring mood to the music, though there are passages where she exhorts us to fear what we as humans are capable of inflicting on each other.Requiem Novum consists of twelve distinct parts distilled to seven movements. The overall dramatic arch starts with a grieving Introitus and continues to descend into the third movement, the Dies Irae, which is the musical centrepiece and the dark climax. The movement that follows, On That Day

of Weeping – Sanctus then contains the works pivotal moment where the soloist lets us know that by crossing the veil into eternity, we will fall ‘Into Love, into Joy, Into the waiting arms of God’. This moves into the choir’s confident Sanctus and a jubilant Hosanna in excelsis. The optimism continues in the fifth movement which begins in a more subtle yet wondrous way, building up to an ecstatic end with the soloist and the choir singing together for the first and only time in the Requiem. The choir here

represents the choirs of Heaven, joining the soprano by singing in English, in contrast to their Earthly role. This is followed by the only a cappella movement – Pie Jesu - which continues the positive and confident progress but does so in a more restrained and lyrical way. The work concludes with the seventh movement where the soloist expresses her wonderment by stating: Eternal Rest. Eternal Rest?No rest for me; My journey has only just begun!

This leads into the In Paradisum, completing the work’s arch as a reprise of material from the Introitus. Here on the Other Side of Eternity then functions as the coda where the soloist describes the wonders of Heaven and its ‘infinite perfect Love’.Mårten Jansson

21

17 April

Requiem Novum

The texts I wrote for Requiem Novum are

very special to me, and very personal. When Mårten and I were brainstorming the concept for the overall work, we landed on the idea of writing companion pieces for each of the movements of the traditional Requiem mass, but from the perspective of the dead. The work would then create a sort of dialogue, between the mourners in the church and their deceased loved one who had already crossed over into eternity. Writing these texts afforded me the opportunity to reflect deeply on the themes of time and space, traditional faith, sin and redemption, grief, loss, and eternity.

These themes had been at the forefront of my creative spirit for some time when, in 2018 Mårten and I began the journey of this piece. My wife Julie died in 2005 from complications of ovarian cancer, just shy of her 36th birthday. Her death devastated me and our small children, and we forged ahead to create a new kind of family, processing our grief and loss as best we could. As a poet, it would have made sense to write about my grief, but for a long time I just couldn’t do it. It was more than a decade after Julie’s death that I began, hesitantly, to write poetry about that experience and its aftermath. The largest groups of these poems eventually

became the heart of two major works: The Sacred Veil, which I wrote with composer Eric Whitacre, and Requiem Novum with Mårten Jansson. While The Sacred Veil takes a more personal look at the experience of my particular loss, Requiem Novum takes the wider view, representing a more universal perspective about life, death, and eternity, and in a more formal liturgical context. In many ways my texts for Requiem Novum represent the end result of my grief process, the ultimate understanding I have come to regarding those deep concepts. When a person crosses over into eternity, time and space no longer have any meaning or

significance. We here, trapped in space and time, experience loss, lack, absence. But from the perspective of the dead, loved ones have always been together, forever, and there is no loss or separation. We here lament sin, fear retribution, and beg for mercy. But from the perspective of the dead, all is forgiveness and love. The only judgement or torment is that which we impose upon ourselves. We here cannot possibly understand or compass the ineffable, the transcendent, the unfathomable nature of that lux aeterna, that infinite, perfect love.Charles Anthony SilvestriBiography: p. 5

Requiem Novum

Swedish composer Mårten Jansson (b.1965) is a sought-after and frequently performed choral composer enjoying popularity all around the world. A graduate of the Royal College of Music in Stockholm he spent 10 years as the music director of “Carmen”, one of the most prominent women’s vocal ensembles in Sweden, which led him to compose many works for upper voice choir. In 2012 Mårten was elected to the Society of Swedish Composers (FST), and he began writing

for mixed voice choirs including the Royal Chapel in Stockholm and various German choirs. Many of his scores are published by Bärenreiter such as The Choirmasters Burial, Far, Est is ein Ros’ Entsprungen and the Missa Popularis – which is regularly performed in both liturgical and concert settings such as Carnegie Hall, Cologne Cathedral, San Francisco Opera and Latvian Radio. The first album dedicated to his music was released by the English choir Chantage in 2017. In 2018

Requiem Novum

Bärenreiter held the Mårten Jansson Choral Competition in which choirs from around the world submitted videos of their performance of Maria IV. This piece was premiered on Swedish television from the Castle Church, Stockholm with the King and Royal family present. Another piece, Lead Me, Lord was premiered in Crathie Kirk on the Balmoral Estate, Aberdeenshire with HRH Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles present.

The Choir & Organ Magazine ran a feature on Mårten in 2019 which highlighted his work and

coincided with the beginning of a 3-year appointment as composer-in-residence for the St Louis Chamber Chorus, USA, directed by Philip Barnes. Mårten’s association with VOCES8 began in 2020 with a commission, Elemental Elegy that was recorded as part of VOCES8’s 15th-anniversary album After Silence. This piece includes a commissioned text by Charles Anthony Silvestri with whom Mårten also collaborated on Requiem Novum. Requiem Novum marks Mårten’s first collaboration with Walton Music, published to coincide with this recording. As well

as the full orchestral version heard here there is a version for organ, choir and soprano soloist.

Alongside his composing Mårten also teaches choral conducting and music theory. He gained a PhD in composition from Aberdeen University in 2021.

Requiem Novum

The Philharmonia Orchestra creates thrilling performances for a global audience. The Philharmonia was founded in 1945. Herbert von Karajan, Otto Klemperer, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Arturo Toscanini,

Riccardo Muti and Esa-Pekka Salonen are just a few of the great artists to be associated with the Philharmonia, and the Orchestra has premiered works by Richard Strauss, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Errollyn Wallen, Kaija Saariaho and many

others. Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall has been the Philharmonia’s home since 1995. The Orchestra also has residencies at venues and festivals across England, each embracing a Learning & Engagement programme that empowers people to engage with orchestral music. The Philharmonia is a registered charity, proud to be supported by Arts Council England, many generous individuals, corporate supporters and Trusts and Foundations. Santtu-Matias Rouvali is the Philharmonia’s new Principal Conductor, the sixth person to hold that title in the Orchestra’s

history. Santtu is known for his expressive, balletic conducting and irrepressible energy. Pekka Kuusisto is a Featured Artist in 2021/22, and House of Absolute are Artists in Residence. The Philharmonia has an extraordinary 76-year recording legacy, which in the last decade has been built on by pioneering work with digital technology. The Orchestra’s installations and VR expeirences have introduced hundreds of thousands of people to the symphony orchestra. The Philharmonia has won four Royal Philharmonic Society awards for its digital projects and audience engagement work. philharmonia.co.uk

Requiem NovumA Response of Hope and Wondertexts from the Requiem and by Charles Anthony Silvestri

I. Introitus

Requiem dona eis, Domine:et lux perpetua luceat eis.Te decet hymnus, Deus in Sion, et tibi redetur votum in Ierusalem. Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet. Requiem dona eis Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Rest give unto them, O Lord,and let perpetual light shine upon them.A hymn, O God, becometh Thee in Zion;and a vow shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem: hear my prayer;all flesh shall come to Thee.Rest give unto them, O Lord,and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Requiem Novum

II. Or So The Living Pray

Or so the living prayFor their beloved dead, And pure is their intention to do so;

But the living only seeAs through a glass, darkly, the great Enigma that awaits beyond,

Where glimpse of Truth, and grief,And darker shadows still,Entwine to weave the old familiar words.

Do not grieve, my friends, That I have gone away, For I have crossed into Infinity

Where now I know the answers To questions hidden thenWhen still I stood where now you stand and grieve.

Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.

Lord, have mercy.Christ, have mercy.Lord, have mercy.

Requiem Novum

III. Cry Not In Anguished Voices

Cry not in anguished voicesFor gifts already given;He sees the pain our choices Inflict on hopes of heaven.

It is we who must have mercy,Each one upon another;Whyever would one curseHim who is himself our brother?

The Lord has mercy boundlessAnd that He freely gives;Our fear of death is groundless,For he who died now lives!

Dies iræ, dies illa Solvet sæclum in favilla: Teste David cum Sibylla.

Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando iudex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus!

Tuba mirum spargens sonum Per sepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupebit, et natura, Cum resurget creatura, Iudicanti responsura.

Liber scriptus proferetur, In quo totum continetur, Unde mundus iudicetur.

That day of wrath, that dreadful day,shall heaven and earth in ashes lay,as David and the Sybil say.

What horror must invade the mindwhen the approaching Judge shall findand sift the deeds of all mankind!

The mighty trumpet’s wondrous toneshall rend each tomb’s sepulchral stoneand summon all before the Throne.

Now death and nature with surprisebehold the trembling sinners riseto meet the Judge’s searching eyes.

Then shall with universal dreadthe Book of Consciences be readto judge the lives of all the dead.

32

17 April

Requiem Novum

Quantus iudex ergo cum sedebit, Quidquid latet, apparebit: Nil inultum remanebit.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus, Quem patronum rogaturus, Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Rex tremendæ maiestatis, Qui salvandos salvas gratis, Salva me, fons pietatis.

Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuæ viæ: Ne me perdas illa die.

Quærens me sedisti lassus: Redimisti Crucem passus: Tantus labor non sit cassus.

Iuste iudex ultionis, Donum fac remissionis, Ante diem rationis.

Ingemisco tamquam reus: Culpa rubet vultus meus: Supplicanti parce, Deus.

Qui Mariam absolvisti, Et latronem exaudisti, Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

For now before the Judge severeall hidden things must plain appear;no crime can pass unpunished here.

O what shall I, so guilty plead?and who for me will intercede?when even Saints shall comfort need?

O King of dreadful majesty!grace and mercy You grant free;as Fount of Kindness, save me!

Recall, dear Jesus, for my sakeyou did our suffering nature takethen do not now my soul forsake!

In weariness You sought for me,and suffering upon the tree!let not in vain such labor be.

O Judge of justice, hear, I pray,for pity take my sins awaybefore the dreadful reckoning day.

Your gracious face, O Lord, I seek;deep shame and grief are on my cheek;in sighs and tears my sorrows speak.

You Who did Mary’s guilt unbind,and mercy for the robber find,have filled with hope my anxious mind.

Requiem Novum

Preces meæ non sunt dignæ; Sed tu bonus fac benigne, Ne perenni cremer igne.

Inter oves locum præsta Et ab hædis me sequestra, Statuens in parte dextra.

Confutatis maledictis, Flammis acribus addictis: Voca me cum benedictis.

Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis: Gere curam mei finis.

Lacrimosa dies illa, Qua resurget ex favilla Iudicandu homo reus:

How worthless are my prayers I know,yet, Lord forbid that I should gointo the fires of endless woe.

Divorced from the accursed band,o make me with Your sheep to stand,as child of grace, at Your right Hand.

When the doomed can no more fleefrom the fires of miserywith the chosen call me.

Before You, humbled, Lord, I lie,my heart like ashes, crushed and dry,assist me when I die.

Full of tears and full of dreadis that day that wakes the dead,calling all, with solemn blast

Huic ergo parce, Deus.

Pie Iesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen.

to be judged for all their past.

Lord, have mercy, Jesus blest,grant them Rest.Amen.

Requiem Novum

IV. On That Day of Weeping

On that day of weepingThere is no weeping here;For here is only Heaven,Here is only joy,And God is only Love.

The torments that we fear are real;For once we are enfolded In the perfect love of God,Gentle, boundless, freely given,We remember past transgressions,

Our selfishness and self delusion.To stand in our shameBefore such terrible loveIs exquisite torment,And we become our own tormentors.

But just as stone is worn away By endless washing of the sea,So the stubborn spines of our illusionAnd the armor of our prideAre sanded down to the raw,However long it may require,Until, at last, We lay aside our heavy burdensAnd accept the indescribable gift.

Abandon your illusions And die before you die,So on that day you cross the veilAnd slip into eternity,You will fall headlong Into Love, into Joy, Into waiting arms of God.

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.Pleni sunt cæli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis.

Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.

[Holy, holy, holy,Lord God of Hosts.Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is He Who cometh in the Name of the Lord.Hosanna in the highest.]

Requiem Novum

V. I Stand Upon a Landscape of Infinity

I stand upon a landscape of infinity, Vast, yet intimate.In the distance I see the Presence,Glowing with impossible light;The thrum of hosts beyond numberSurrounds me as they sing Their endless Holy! Holy!

Wave upon wave of LoveEmanate from that light;While lightning flashes Of golden evangelion Carry prayers and blessingsTo and from the Presence.Holy! Holy!

Drawn into the Light,I fade, I lose myself ...Holy! Holy!There is no I There is only WeOnly the endless and eternal One.

I cannot describe ...Words fail ...Holy! Holy! Holy!

VI. Pie Jesu

Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem sempiternam.

[Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest;grant them eternal rest.]

VII. Eternal Rest

Eternal Rest. Eternal Rest?No rest for me;My journey has only just begun!

Requiem Novum

In Paradisum deducant te Angeli;in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,et cum Lazaro, quondam paupereæternam habeas requiem.

Here, on the other side of eternity,I need not await your coming,For we are already together, as always we have been.

Here, on the other side of eternity,Time and space have no meaning,For past and future fall away,And there is only ever now.

May the Angels lead thee into paradise:may the Martyrs receive thee at thy coming,and lead thee into the holy city of Jerusalem.May the choir of Angels receive thee,and with Lazarus, who once was poor, mayest thou have eternal rest.

Here, on the other side of eternity,There are no limits of thought,Or dimensions, or understandingFor here, all is known,All is revealed, And all is infinite, perfect Love.

Start the school day with a musical wake-up for voice, body and mind

THE VOCES8 Method is an innovative new system which enhances neurological development, helping to deliver improved academic results. Based on research by the Institute of Education, it contains group activities based on rhythm and melody which are designed to develop key learning skills and improve students’ academic learning processes for all subjects.

• Suitable for small groups or whole-school participation.

• Requires no musical expertise or expensive equipment.

• Supported by free online training videos.

• Backed up by CPD training sessions led by members of VOCES8.

• An interactive app enables students to explore the activities for themselves.

VOCES8, the award-winning octet founded in 2003 by ex-choristers of Westminster Abbey, has established itself at the forefront of international choral music. It has built up an enviable reputation not only for its stunning performances of imaginative arrangements, but also for its innovative education work.
