Requiem for Colour: A Journey Through Joy and Lament, is a wholly original orchestral and choral experience, written and composed by Dr. Jeffery Ames.
A highly accomplished conductor, composer, and professor, Dr. Ames’ Requiem is a labor of love that explores and honors the experiences of generations of Black people and their descendants. Requiem is a groundbreaking work combining music, literature, and visual art, blending genres from classical to R&B, oration to spoken word. Informed by his own Christian faith and the traditions of Gospel music, Ames has created a work that spans generations in reckoning with societal vices of racism and injustice.
