At this service we shall remember all who have died, among them all who have died of opioid overdose and Covid, all who died at Residential Schools, and our own loved ones. The music will be the Missa pro defunctis of Giovanni Francesco Anerio (c. 1567-1630), an Italian composer, the much more musically progressive younger brother of composer Felice Anerio, and a bridge between the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Plainsong pervades his Missa pro defunctis (Requiem Mass), both as cantus firmus and paraphrase, but often in very subtle ways. The overall effect is one which acknowledges the poignancy of loss while providing profound solace.
