A meditative reading of W.H. Auden’s masterpiece, Horae Canonicae (“The Canonical Hours”) with intervals of silence & instrumental music. In this work, Auden uses the framework of the seven traditional hours of prayer in Christian monastic life, to engage poetic reflection upon the death of Christ, set in the world of the 1950’s. After a brief introduction, the poems will be read, with short musical interludes between each of the readings provided by UBC musicians.
Sponsors for this evening include: Carey Hall, Corpus Christi & St. Mark’s Colleges, Regent College, St. Andrew’s Hall, University Hill United congregation, and Vancouver School of Theology.
