Conspirare & Craig Hella Johnson - Advena: Liturgies for a Broken World (2025)

Posted By: Fizzpop

Date: Aug. 26, 2025

Born of personal reckonings with inherited faith and culture, Mass in Exile and Requiem for the Light are liturgies shaped by the world of today. Composed by Mark Buller with librettist Leah Lax, these works reimagine these ancient forms with the immediacy our present moment demands. Buller’s vibrant musical language combines with mystical choral textures to create an emotional intensity that feels both intimate and urgent. These works are presented between two companion works — Introit: Fruit of Your Heart and Communion: A Questioning — with texts by British poet and librettist Euan Tait, offering chantlike settings that extend the project’s core themes and anchoring the whole in a wider human arc.
