SUMMARY:Sanctuary Worship: Visitor's Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us and invite your family\, friends\, and neighbors for worship as we celebrate Visitor’s Sunday. Following worship\, everyone is welcome to attend our Church Life Sampler in the Social Hall. \n\nThis service is held in the Sanctuary on the first floor\, with an organ prelude before the service. We extend a warm welcome to our Latino friends and include several prayers in our service bulletin in English and Spanish. This is ELPC’s largest service\, offering a traditional worship service with thought-provoking sermons\, and the music of our Chancel Choir and organ to reinforce the spirit of praise and reverence. Like many of the great cathedrals of Europe\, the compelling power and beauty of our historic\, gothic-style Sanctuary enhances the spiritual experience. Children are invited to the chancel steps to hear their own message with one of the pastors. The service is led by ELPC’s senior pastor or other members of the pastoral staff. Special guest pastors or speakers periodically lead the service. \nSEE DETAILS FOR THIS WEEK’S WORSHIP services HERE.

SUMMARY:CASOP: A Requiem for Rice Choral Performance
DESCRIPTION:A poignant choral movement of the full CASOP: A Requiem for Rice composition\, by Dr. Trevor Weston\, conducted by Thomas Douglas and performed by Colour of Music Festival Chorale.  The full piece will debut in its entirety on February 13\, 2019 at Carnegie Music Hall. \nUNDERSTANDING CASOP: THE REQUIEM FOR RICE by Edda L. Fields-Black\, Ph. D.\, Executive Producer & Librettist\nfrom the Requiem for Rice website \nThe Requiem for Rice was originally conceived of as a modern take on a classic requiem—in the spirit of Verdi\, Mozart\, Faure\, and Britten—that mourns the souls of the enslaved who died on Lowcountry rice plantations\, their bodies unburied\, their suffering unmourned\, and their sacrifices unmarked for future generations.  As Trevor began to compose\, I completed the first draft of the libretto\, and we began collaboration on arranging the lyrics\, we began to feel as if something was missing. The requiem genre from the European classical music tradition provided a vehicle for the piece to lament and mourn the sacrifices and sufferings of Africans enslaved on Lowcountry rice plantations; but\, it left no room to protest the injustices of enslavement\, exploitation\, and terror\, a commercial agricultural system built on the backs of people stolen from West Africa’s Upper Guinea Coast\, African genius\, African bodies\, African labor\, African tears.  We thought\, there had to be a RECKONING before the REQUIEM.  Casop: A Requiem for Rice was born. \nCASOP is pronounced kəsəp; both the “a” and “o” in casop are pronounced like the initial “a” in “cassava” or the “u” in “custard.”\nCasop is a funerary tradition among the Diola-Fogny\, quintessential rice farmers along the Casamance River of present-day Senegal.  In the event of untimely\, accidental\, and suspicious deaths\, Diola-Fogny ritual specialists performed casop\, a “ritual interrogation of the corpse” via spirit possession.  During the funeral\, the deceased was asked to tell his or her story about the circumstances of death.  Once the truth was revealed\, the dead would be buried and harmony and peace restored to the community. \nIn Casop: A Requiem for Rice\, tens of thousands enslaved laborers on the Lowcountry’s rice plantations and 12 million Africans who endured the Middle Passage\, many of whom died untimely\, accidental\, and suspicious deaths\, will speak.  Once the dead have told their story\, the lamentation will turn to celebration of the critical role enslaved Africans’ ingenuity\, technology\, and industry played in the economy of the US South\, laying to rest once and for all\, the shackles of shame\, blame\, guilt\, and denial that pervade this painful period in our nation’s history.  Casop: A Requiem for Rice reclaims African and African-American history and fosters reconciliation. \nA true marriage between West African and European classical traditions\, Casop: A Requiem for Rice is an African-American inspired take on a classic requiem.  By telling the stories of Africans enslaved on Lowcountry rice plantations\, Casop becomes a new genre\, the vehicle through which oppressed and voiceless peoples from around the world can tell their stories\, mourn their dead\, and celebrate their contributions to the world. \nThe Box office opens July 15th for the September 21\, 2018 “Casop: A Requiem for Rice” Choral Performance and September 22 Colour of Music Festival’s “Casop: A Requiem for Rice” Black Classical Renaissance Benefit Performance.
