Cornelius the Centurion
Cornelius the Centurion
O God, who by your Spirit called Cornelius the Centurion to be the first Christian among the Gentiles: Grant to your church such a ready will to go where you send and to do what you command that the prejudices that blind us might cease, and that we might welcome all who turn to you in love; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
In this ‚ÄúGrand Tour‚Äù of the hugely influential Venetian musical style, Organist and Director of Music Daniel Hyde performs a recital exploring works ranging from luminaries such as Giovanni Gabrieli‚Äîthe organist of Venice’s venerable San Marco Basilica for nearly three decades‚ÄîMerula, and Vivaldi (as arranged by J.S. Bach and J.G. Walther) to 20th-century re-imaginings by Ligeti and Tippett.
This recital is part of La Serenissima: Music and Arts from The Venetian Republic, a citywide Carnegie Hall festival celebrating the dazzling artistic legacy of Venice with musical performances across the hall’s three stages and events at more than a dozen prestigious partner organizations that include additional musical offerings, panel discussions, readings, theatre, lectures, seminars, and art exhibitions.
“Daniel Hyde finds all the beauty and pain in this spellbinding sequence: an hour of listening that is both of the moment and utterly timeless.” The Independent
