Versa est in luctum is performed by the Vocal Chamber Music ensemble, University of Redlands Conservatory of Music, and directed by Prof. Christopher Gabbitas. Juan Gutierrez de Padilla (1590-1664) was one of a wave of Iberian composers who made the journey across the Atlantic to become amongst the first truly American composers, dying in Puebla in Mexico. de Padilla’s work would have been widely performed by choirs both in Mexico and in the Mission Churches of what is now southwest USA. This is a song of mourning, probably on the death of an important church or political figure, and uses imitative writing and dense harmonic texture, in advance of its time.

- 1:20How VR and AI Are Transforming Education | Professor Johannes Moenius at University of RedlandsProfessor Johannes Moenius, who teaches global business and economics at University of Redlands, uses VR and artificial intelligence in his courses to minimize the “loss of immediacy” that occurs in online education. “Students online don’t get the same experience as those on-ground—they can turn their cameras off and be doing other things outside the lesson,” he said. “With VR, we have the ability to bring them into a virtual classroom, so the experience for online students mirrors that of those on-ground. With the technology, we can bring back the immediacy of being in the same space while being far apart, which brings collaboration, and equalizing the playing field by giving students the same access and bridges both the economic and digital divide.”Read the full story: https://www.redlands.edu/bulldog-bites/2025/learning-for-tomorrow
