The Washing of the Water
Sun, April 30, 2017 at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola

“River, River carry me on,” the repeated plea in Peter Gabriel’s song “The Washing of the Water,” evokes the symbolic power of flowing water to cleanse, redeem and restore, extolled by composers since music began. The Biblical Israelites sang of their grief beside the waters of Babylon; modern souls yearn for a bridge over troubled water. Washing of the Water will feature music of spiritual intensity by Palestrina, Gibbons, Tomkins, Cardoso, Victoria, Bryars, Gabriel, Simon, & Cohen.
