All MBL Falmouth Forum presentations are open to the public and FREE of charge. 




Composer Gregory Brown will speak about the development of Missa Charles Darwin , illustrated by musical examples performed live by New York Polyphony , followed by the premier performance of the complete piece. 




Based on the standard five-movement structure of the Mass, the Missa Charles Darwin honors the compositional and harmonic conventions of its musical antecedents. Unlike traditional Mass settings, however, the sacred texts have been replaced with excerpts from On The Origin Of Species , The Descent of Man , and Darwin's correspondence.
