Maurice Duruflé's "Requiem" stands as one of the most influential, powerful and stirring works in the musical canon. The marriage between the Mass tradition and the impressionist musical language of Duruflé creates a work that penetrates deep within the spirit. We will be utilizing the organ version of this work for the reading with the possibility of additional instruments added.
