Requiem

for Chorus, Soprano Solo, Chamber Orchestra & Organ
by  Dale Ramsey

Mr. Ramsey’s Requiem sets the traditional Latin mass for the dead. It is intended to be a liturgical work, but is also at home in a sacred concert setting. The music stands in the traditions of Duruflé and Fauré, but is different from both. Two performances prove it to be within reach of non-professional, church choirs, making it a good choice for community and/or college groups as well. Response has been very positive from both listeners and performers alike.

Professionally prepared performance materials are available from the composer, including rehearsal tracks on CDs for each vocal part, conductor’s score and instrumental parts. Please inquire through [email protected].

This arrangement of the well known spiritual would suit a good school, college or community choir. It is light and a little jazzy in style.
