The writing of a requiem is a special challenge for any composer.
The great requiems of the past by composers such as Mozart, Verdi
and Berlioz interpret the sacred requiem text literally, offering
prayers of salvation for the departed, whose souls are assumed to
be in purgatory facing a terrible judgment.
Eternal Light: A Requiem, by the Emmy Award winning British
composer and internationally acclaimed broadcaster Howard Goodall
is a stunning new requiem for the modern day. In contrast it is
intended to provide solace to the grieving, reflecting on the words
of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English.
Speaking about the work, Howard Goodall said, "For me, a modern
requiem is one that acknowledges the unbearable loss and emptiness
that accompanies the death of loved ones, a loss that is not easily
ameliorated with platitudes about the joy awaiting us in the
afterlife. This, like Brahms', is a requiem for the living,
addressing their suffering and endurance, a requiem focusing on the
consequences of interrupted lives."
Also available in single octavo format, is Lead, Kindly Light
(057153323X).
