MESSA DA REQUIEM
Music by
GIUSEPPE VERDI
Critical edition by David B. Rosen
The University of Chicago Press, Chicago
and Casa Ricordi, Milano
A splendid, monumental composition written during Verdi’s period of isolation from the opera genre following the success of Aida. Dedicated to Alessandro Manzoni, Messa da Requiem reflects the spirituality of the composer as well as the dialogue between sacred and profane appearing in his opera works, though remaining a mystery regarding his most intimate beliefs.
