The Requiem Mass For Terrance Lindall
Husberg has completed a resurrection requiem mass "A Feast Prepared", written at the request of Terrance Lindall, a renowned artist of Lutheran upbringing whose illustrations for John Milton's Paradise Lost are the most famous of the 20th century for the subject. The text of the requiem mass is new, and written by Lutheran sacred poet and hymn writer, Richard Leach. The Requiem was premiered in Elizabethtown, KY the weekend of March 5 and 6, 2011. According to the composer Amanda, it definitely stands as "the answer to Paradise Lost."
What people have said about the requiem:
"One can compare it to a road which leads the believing soul to the final Resurrection banquet, to join all of Christ's disciples in thankfulness, joy and triumph." D. Sida Hodoroaba-Roberts, The Elizabethtown Area Sacred Community Choir (Kentucky)
"It is with great joy that I hear this wonderful requiem! It will continue to give me faith, comfort and inspiration!" Terrance Lindall
Terrance Lindall painted her into his Paradise Lost Altarpiece to honor her and Richard Leach for their efforts on the requiem. A signed and dedicated copy of the requiem is in the collection of the Yuko Nii Foundation and the renowned Robert J. Wickenheiser Milton collection along with full sized Giclee prints of the altarpiece signed by Lindall.
