Art in a time of Fascism- A Major Music Service March 15 · 10:30 AM · Sanctuary Mozart wrote his Grand Mass in C minor between 1782 and 1783. Premiered in Salzburg, it featured his new bride Constanze as the lead soprano and contains nearly every style of music at the young composer’s disposal. The piece was never completed, however, and the version we will present was completed and edited by Richard Maunder. The piece is a grand celebration of love and faith, something that matters so much, especially now. Our performance will feature Grammy Award winning soprano Amanda Forsythe, and the homily will look at why art and music and joy matter so much in a time of rising fascism. Processional Hymn - #267 , Lo the Day of Days is Here Chalice Lighting Opening Words - Rev. Martha Major Music Part 1 - Mass in C Minor, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; with the FCB Senior Choir and Orchestra, featuring soprano Amanda Forsythe Homily - Art and music in a time of rising Fascism - Ian Garvie Major Music Continued Extinguishing the Chalice - Rev.
