  • Requiem: Music of Mourning and Consolation

    Details: First American edition

    Synopsis: There is a wealth of funeral music that may be heard on radio record programms, in concert halls or occasionally in churches, that is however comparatively little known. In this easy approachable book, Alec Robertson doesn’t attempt a complete history of the settings of the requiem mass – something that has never so far been attempted due to it’s vastness – but he has compiled for discussion namely those masses of which recordings are readily available and that are most likely to be heard. The author is exquisitely qualified t owrite on such an inspiting and solemn subject and those who are already familiar with his numerous articles in music journals and his other books will not be surprised to find out that this book is in no way sad but radiates cheerfulness, compassion and hope.
