Cherubini Requiem in C Minor

The Requiem in C Minor for mixed chorus and orchestra was written in 1816 by Italian composer Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842) and was greatly admired by many other composers, especially Beethoven, who requested this requiem at his own funeral.

It comprises seven movements and, unusually, does not feature any vocal soloists. Even more unusually, it features a single stroke of a tam-tam (gong-like instrument) at the start of the Dies Irae.

Please do join us to hear this wonderful and little-performed work with SATB choir and large orchestra in the lovely surroundings and acoustic of St. Andrew's Church, Westland Row.
