No Ke Kanu Ana O Ke Kupapau - for SATB, organ, and chamber orchestra - Video Realization

Описание: Audio Realization created by Alessandro Clemente
Composed by Thomas Goedecke

No Ke Kanu Ana o Ke Kupapau was commissioned by Jace Saplan for Ke Aloha Pau ‘Ole as a companion piece for Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem in D minor. I want to explore what a culturally responsive companion piece for a requiem might look like, using the same instrumentation as the original work but framing it in a Hawaiian music-making lens. The immediate hurdle was considering a text. Having spent six years in the Cathedral of St. Andrew, much of the Hawaiian sacred music I was familiar with was framed by King Kamehameha IV, Queen Emma, and the Anglican service music of their church during the Hawaiian worship services. King Kamehameha IV translated the 1662 Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England in 1862, giving his new church a prayer book in their language. I felt it was appropriate to use his translation of the 1662 “Order for the Dead”, or No Ke Kanu Ana O Ke Kupapau. The themes of this service center on the very human experience of grief and hope.
