Grand Messe des Morts

Album by Hector Berlioz & Bror Magnus Tødenes & Bergen filharmoniske orkester & Edward Gardner

Grande Messe des Morts is a large-scale choral-orchestral Requiem by the French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1837. The score calls for vast forces including multiple brass choirs, a large chorus and full orchestra, and exemplifies Berlioz's experimentation with orchestral colour and scale, expanding the dramatic possibilities of choral-orchestral writing in the Romantic era.
