Requiem

Album by Hector Berlioz & Gabriel Fauré & City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra & Louis Frémaux

The Requiem (Grande Messe des morts) is a large-scale sacred choral work by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1837. It is scored for exceptionally large forces, including expanded orchestra, multiple choirs and offstage brass, and exemplifies Berlioz's experimental approach to orchestration while influencing the development of 19th-century grand choral repertoire.
