Part 2 of 4

Verdi's Requiem Mass was composed in memory of Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), the famous Italian poet and novelist, best known by his novel "I Promessi Sposi." Verdi (1813 - 1901) was deeply moved by his death, so deeply that he felt unable to attend the funeral and made, some days later, a private pilgrimage to the grave. However great his personal grief as a composer Verdi had to be practical and in starting to write his Requiem Mass he decided to use the music to the final section Libera ne, with the reprise of the Dies irae, which he had already composed for the abortive commemoration of Rossini in 1868, five years before the death of Manzoni.
