An exploration of the connections between the Book of Job and its theology with poetry, visual art, and music inspired by its message. Noted composer Judith Weir will deliver the 2019 Tangeman Lecture, speaking about her piece In the Land of Uz, a performance of which by Yale Schola Cantorum will follow at 7:30 pm (Christ Church New Haven). She will talk about what led her to create a musical narrative from the Book of Job, and describe the piece with particular reference to the historical tradition of biblical oratorio.
This season's Tangeman Lecture is a part of the ISM symposium "The Wisdom of Job."
