Messa da Requiem

Album by Giuseppe Verdi & Myung-Whun Chung & NHK交響楽団

Messa da Requiem is a Requiem mass by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, completed in 1874. Musically it applies Verdi's operatic vocal writing to the liturgical text, scored for four soloists, double choir and large orchestra, employing dramatic contrasts, intense choral passages and varied orchestral colour, and it stands as his principal large-scale sacred composition.
