Jansson, Mårten – Requiem Novum

Description

Requiem Novum, an evocative musical work from Swedish composer Mårten Jansson, weaves drama, emotion, and exquisite compositional technique info a masterpiece for our time. The choir (singing the traditional Latin texts) represents the mourning and God-fearing congregation, while the soloist (singing new English texts by Charles Anthony Silvestri) answers as one beyond the veil, sending back words of comfort and hope. Highly melodic and incredibly moving, Jansson’s new setting of the Latin Requiem offers a new perspective on grief and loss. Available here for choir, soloist, and orchestra; but also available for choir with organ, percussion, and soloist (WW1941B).
