    When premiered by Schola Cantorum in 2004, Alva Henderson’s Winter Requiem resonated deeply with audience members and singers alike. This masterful work receives an encore performance, suitably matched with Henderson’s newest composition, From Greater Light, commissioned by Howard and Roberta Ahmanson in celebration of the opening of The Village of Hope in Southern California. The Peninsula-based composer’s requiem sets poet Dana Gioia’s journey through the unthinkable loss of a child, moving honestly through raw emotions, and resolving in the promise of hope and redemption. From Greater Light is cradled with similar expressive care in the composer’s treatment of Old-Testament texts, climaxing in a universal message of love and peace.
