  • It's amazing to listen to music from this era, in the 21 century. Its very beautiful. :)

  • @seabluehappiness I find that amazing myself. I'm glad you enjoy it.

  • The very first found polyphonic requiem.

  • @ComposerJMA There was one by Dufay, which was lost.

  • @drtmuir Oh, really? I didn't know. What I wouldn't give to hear that...

  • Thank you so much for uploading this performance of the requiem - this is still one of my all-time favorite pieces ever written in Western music.
