BACH CHOIR OF BETHLEHEM: Franz Schubert | "Litanei" | Dashon Burton, bass-baritone | Moment of Comfort on August 12

Choir

Bach Choir of Bethlehem issued the following announcement on Aug. 5

Greg Funfgeld, artistic director and conductor of The Bach Choir of Bethlehem introduces his friend and frequent Bach Choir soloist, Dashon Burton, as he performs Franz Schubert's "Litanei."

During this time of COVID-19, we hope this brings some consolation to those who have suffered loss.

Translation from German: Litanei

Rest in peace, all souls

who have done with anxious torment,

who have ended a sweet dream

satiated with life, hardly born,

gone over from the world:

all souls rest in peace!

The souls of lovely girls,

whose tears are not to be counted,

deserted by a false friend,

and cast out by the blind world,

all who have departed

all souls rest in peace!

And those upon whom the sun never smiled

who under the moon lay sleepless upon thorns

that in the clear light of heaven

they might one day see God face-to-face

all who have departed

all souls rest in peace.

AUGUST 12 AT 9:00 AM

Franz Schubert | "Litanei" | Dashon Burton, bass-baritone | Moment of Comfort
