Requiem Vocal Score (Oxford Choral Music) (English and Latin Edition)

• J. Rutter: Requiem Vocal Score - Soprano
• SATB + Piano

This book is suitable for soprano soloist, mixed choir, and small orchestra or chamber ensemble. This is one of the best-loved and most widely performed choral works of the twentieth century. The texts (in Latin and English) are from the "Missa pro Defunctis", the "Book of Common Prayer", and the "Psalms". The seven sections form an arch-like meditation on the themes of life and death: prayers on behalf of all humanity, psalms, personal prayers to Christ, and in the central Sanctus an affirmation of divine glory. The full scores have been edited and engraved by the composer himself and are presented in handsome, cloth-bound editions. The vocal and orchestral material is available on hire.
