Requiem is a powerfully appealing, tender exploration of love and loss. Grounded in tradition while incorporating a present-day harmonic language, two Gregorian chant motives are interwoven throughout the lush harmonies and soaring melodies. The level of difficulty is within the reach of many choirs and most orchestral players, making it an attractive choice for church or concert hall. A new translation of the traditional text makes it possible to perform the work entirely in English or entirely in Latin. Whether your choir sings a major work twice a year or is looking to try a multimovement work for the first time, this is an excellent choice. The work has a flexible duration (28-40 min.) depending on the inclusion of the optional solo and/or a cappella movements. Accomampaniment may be piano or organ only, organ and winds, or chamber orchestra.
