Thompson, Randall (1899-1984)
Description:
Requiem" by Randall Thompson (1899-1984), a choral composer whose name is probably unknown even in the United States unless you are a choral enthusiast. The entire work, consisting of five scenes for a cappella double chorus, is extremely dramatic, and is written so that one group of chorus members always sings from the perspective of "a congregation mourning the loss of a loved one," while the other group sings from the perspective of "comforting the congregation and persuading them to return to reality. The music itself is tonal, sometimes forming a magnificent fugue, and differs from the usual conception of a requiem as a "prayer for the repose of the dead. Recorded in 2014 by the Philadelphia Singers/David Hayes. (C)RS
