Verdi’s Requiem

verdi

There are few events in all of music more viscerally exciting or dramatic than Verdi’s highly operatic “Requiem”. From the dramatic bass drum jackhammer explosions of the “Dies Irae” to the poignant “libera me” (deliver me) we are taken on a musical roller coaster of emotions that traces the full gamut of human expression. Powerful and beautiful.
