Giuseppe Verdi Requiem (1874)
Saturday 13th February & Saturday 27th February 2027, at St Michael’s Church, Lewes
Accompanist: Howard Beach
Note from Nick:
“Verdi’s great Requiem written over 150 years ago in 1874 needs almost no introduction. It ranges from the very quiet opening Requiem to the famously loud Dies Irae. And then there are two choral fugues – the Sanctus for Double Chorus and the final Libera me 4-part fugue.
In Workshop 1 we will focus on the Dies Irae and one of the fugues.
Workshop 2 will cover the other fugue and all the other choral movements. On the afternoon of the second workshop we will be joined by four soloists so that we can run at least half of the work in the final session.
Once again, both days will be accompanied on the piano by the wonderful Howard Beach.”
