REQUIEM - choir & solo cello; organ and/or strings; plus optional percussion
Sir Neville Marriner
A deeply moving work for choir and cello, with organ or strings. Its beautiful, flowing melodies are often monastic in flavour, but woven together to create rich and dazzling tapestries of harmony. Above the choral voices soars a lyrical part for solo cello.
Requiem is my most widely performed work, with increasingly regular performances in the UK, Europe and US.
Professionally printed and bound; 36 pages
Vocal score
Scored for SATB choir with solo cello, and organ or string accompaniment
Soprano and (optional) baritone soloists
Optional percussion - timpani and tenor drum (1 player)
