Cathedral Choir To Present Franz Liszt's "Via Crucis"

Published: February 21, 2008

ATLANTA. On Friday, Feb. 29, at 7 p.m., the Cathedral of Christ the King, with organist Dr. Timothy Wissler, soloists and the Cathedral Choir, will present a dramatic blending of sight and sound in a presentation of Franz Liszt's Via Crucis, in musical meditations on the Stations of the Cross.

Kevin Culver, choirmaster at Christ the King, noted, "the object of the Stations is to help the faithful to make in spirit, a pilgrimage to the chief scenes of Christ's sufferings and death." The origins of the Stations as a devotional practice are traced to the Holy Land. The route Christ traveled from the place of sentencing to Calvary has been marked since the earliest days of Christianity and has been the object of pilgrimage since the days of Constantine (4th century A.D.).

Franz Liszt, one of the late 19th century?s most sensational piano virtuosos, was also a composer of great depth and one of the most daring innovators and experimenters of his time. He began Via Crucis in 1866 when he lived near the Colosseum in Rome, finishing it in1878. In 1874 he wrote that the work would not be ?learned or ostentatious? but ?simple reflections of my youthful emotions?which remain indestructible across all the trials of the years!? The work was deemed too original and not marketable and was never performed in the composer?s lifetime.

Culver believes that Via Crucis belongs among the most personal works of Liszt. In memoirs written late in his life, the composer recalled with great emotion a service of the Stations he once attended on Good Friday in the open air at the Colosseum.

Christ the King?s meditation on the Stations will consist of Liszt?s musical ?illuminations? as well as large projections at each stop on the ?Way of the Cross.? The projections for each of the 14 Stations of the Cross are drawn from the works of master Renaissance painters of the late 15th to early 16th century. Kelly Morris, of the High Museum of Art and a frequent collaborator with the Cathedral Choir, has drawn together moving images of Christ?s journey to the cross.

This combination of imposing images and text with masterful music was the primary reason Christ the King decided to present Via Crucis. ?The season of Lent, as reflected in the procession of readings and liturgies from Sunday to Sunday and week to week, has such a dramatic movement and pace,? said Culver. ?We wanted to capture some of this movement through emotional and liturgical time with this special presentation. Hopefully the blend of word, image and sound will uncover a different focus and flavor to this reflective season.?

Culver said that ?though Liszt was a renowned musician of the concert hall, the musical pageantry he created with Via Crucis belongs in a holy space. We hope this observance of the Stations of the Cross can bring this music, that is at the heart of the Lenten season, into the hearts of all those who come into contact with it.?

The program begins at 7 p.m. and is open to the public. It will be preceded by a simple Lenten supper, which will be served between 6 and 7 p.m. in the parish hall. Donations will be accepted at the door.

The Cathedral is located at 2699 Peachtree Road. Ample parking is available.

Violinist Oliver Steiner to Present Concert

Violin virtuoso Oliver Steiner will present a concert on
February 21, 2008, in the sanctuary of Harmony Grove United
Methodist Church, Lilburn, Georgia. The program will consist
of a short recital of music for violin and piano, followed by a
talk about the human voice as a model for violin performance.
It will begin at 6:30 p.m. Mr. Steiner's concert will include
works by Beethoven, Lalo, Sarasate, and other composers. There
is no admission charge for this concert. Donations will be
accepted to assist with concert-related costs. Harmony Grove
United Methodist Church is located at 50 Harmony Grove Road in
Lilburn.

Oliver Steiner was born in New York City, beginning his violin
studies there at the age of seven. Following his studies with
Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School, Mr. Steiner was awarded
scholarships in Europe which led to performances including the
Pontino Festival in Italy, the Yehudi Menuhin Festival in
Gstaad and the Masterclass of Nathan Milstein in Zurich. His
performances overseas and throughout the United States have
included radio and television broadcasts, recordings, solos
with orchestra, chamber music concerts and recitals.
The New York Times titled its review of Mr. Steiner's Carnegie
Recital Hall debut: "Steiner Violin Sparkles", calling his
performance: "a splendidly played concert in which fine-honed
techniques and superior musicianship asserted themselves at
every point."
From 1972 to 1992 Mr. Steiner was a member of the violin
faculty at Rochester New York's Eastman School of Music. Mr.
Steiner has recorded for National Public Radio, Orion Records
and Albany Records. He and his wife, Wini Leah, now live in
Atlanta.

Mr. Steiner will be accompanied by Dr. Patti Matthews. Dr.
Matthews is a member of the music faculty at Emory University
and associate pianist for the Atlanta Symphony Chorus.
Additionally, she is an adjudicator for the Music Teachers
National Association.

Movie Description from Yahoo:

"In the darkest days of the Cold War, a Hungarian family sacrifices wealth and privilege to escape to the West and gain freedom from Communist repression. Amid the chaos of their late-night border crossing, their youngest child is left behind. They go on to build a new life in America, while in the old country a peasant family raises Suzanne as if she were their own. But Suzanne's true mother never stops fighting to bring her to America. After five years of persistence she wins her fight. Suzanne comes to America, greeted by people she's never met who say they are her parents. As Suzanne grows up to be a rebellious teenager, she must deal directly with the mystery of her past. Only by going back to Hungary, by crossing the border once again, on her own terms, is she able to find herself and to find her true home."
