Music about divine and human love. The first half of the program dwells on the power of sacrificial love to bring healing and peace to a troubled world. The second half begins by portraying the rocky course of romantic love: longing, rejection, and separation. Only at the end do straightforward expressions of admiration seem likely to be reciprocated! Includes “Three Flower Songs” by Amy Beach, and “Mag auch heiss das Scheiden brennen” by Mary Wurm. Performed on Saturday, May 12, 2001.
