Requiem

Album by Hector Berlioz & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Charles Munch

The Requiem (Grande Messe des morts) is a large-scale sacred choral composition by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1837. The work is characterised by its vast orchestration, including expanded brass, percussion and large choral forces, and exemplifies Berlioz's experimental approach to orchestral colour and dramatic scale within mid-19th-century sacred music.
