I only caught the nail-biting final half hour or so of the Butler vs. Marquette basketball game. That was because I was watching another Butler performance. At Clowes Memorial Hall, the Butler Symphony Orchestra in collaboration with a number of other individuals and groups, performed several pieces: Michael Henson\u2019s \u201cWe Didn\u2019t See Them As Human,\u201d\u00a0Sergei Prokofiev\u2019s Piano Concerto No.1, and Maurice\u00a0Durufl\u00e9\u2019s Four Motets and Requiem. The last piece is one of the most beautiful choral pieces of the 20th century. If you\u2019ve never heard it, please give it a listen! Here is a YouTube video (not from tonight\u2019s performance) with the opening parts:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OqW7QzsT9jI<\/a>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
