On the Death of the Righteous : ウィキペディア英語版 | On the Death of the Righteous ''On the Death of the Righteous'' is a composition for choir and orchestra set to the text of John Donne by the American composer Jennifer Higdon. The work was commissioned by the Mendelssohn Club in 2009 to celebrate Alan Harler's 20th season as their music director. The piece was first performed on March 29, 2009 by the Mendelssohn Club orchestra and choir under the conductor Alan Harler.〔Higdon, Jennifer (2009). (On the Death of the Righteous: Program Note ). Retrieved September 14, 2015.〕 ==Composition== ''On the Death of the Righteous'' has a duration of roughly 12 minutes and is composed in a single movement. The music is set to text from the sermon's of the 16th-century poet John Donne. In the score program notes, Higdon wrote: She continued, "Of course, the challenge for the composer is creating an emotional state that is equal to the text’s, and thus a music of enough weight and seriousness, without being particularly dark; to be lacking in judgment in musical sound and to reflect the even balance of opposites, upon the death of the righteous."〔
