John-Luke Addison will premiere the choral work in memory of his dad, George Addison, at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Poway next weekend
When his father died in August 2022, John-Luke Addison — the director of music at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Poway — decided not to dash off a piece of music in time for the memorial service. Instead, the 33-year-old Addison wanted to compose something more substantial that would reflect both his love for his father, George, and his grief at his passing. Over much of the next year, he channeled that desire into a composition that will have its premiere at the church next weekend.
The music is melodious, a modern take on the established requiem form, and one that he said aims to create an atmosphere of peace and reflection. While the composition is a deeply personal work — it's dedicated to 'Dad, who inspired me to follow my dreams. Good night, sweet prince” — Addison said other requiems like “Eternal Light” by British composer Howard Goodall and “Requiem for the Living” by American composer Dan Forrest had an influence on the work.
