RUTTER - REQUIEM VOCAL SCORE SATB
$39.95
Description
for soprano soloist, mixed choir, and orchestra or ensemble (with organ)This is one of the best-loved and most widely performed choral works of the twentieth century. The texts (in Latin and English) are from the Mi ssa pro Defunctis, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Psalms. The seven sections form an arch-like meditation on the themes of life and death: prayers on behalf of all humanity, psalms, personal prayers to Christ, and in the central Sanctus an affirmation of divine glory. The full scoreshave been edited and engraved by the composer himself and are presented in handsome, cloth-bound editions. Vocal and orchestral material is ava ilable on hire.
