the climactic second "et lux perpetua" reduces me to a sobbing mess every time.

Herbert and Michael Howells may you both rest in peace.

I can't wait to sing this with my choir. We just got it today.

I sang this with the Wheaton Conservatory Concert Choir in 1989. I love all of it. The opening salvador mundi. the requiem aeternum and by the 2nd aeternum I had to fight the feeling to weep. We had a young lady in the choir who's 7yr old brother had just died of cancer and the first couple of performances we did she had to sit out.

I sang this with the Virginia Chorale 10 years ago. I love this piece dearly; the Dale Warland Singers was the cd that I had. what I want is a piano reduction to play every day. where on earth can I get a conductor's score or wahtever? comments welcome.

Tom - thank you for sharing this beautiful recording. Do you know of any online resources for learning the individual parts (BASS, particularly)?

The Aeternam is by far the best movement of this Requiem. Love love love.

Many thanks, bluirinka - I'm delighted you enjoyed the track. This was recorded during a live concert performance of the Requiem in April earlier this year. Tom
