fretless bass), strings and percussion, with optional soprano

(BH Large Choral). (2004, 55 minutes) Karl Jenkins' Requiem sets
the traditional Latin text of the Requiem mass, including the extra
movements included by Faure and Durufle Pie Jesu and In paradisum .
These are interspersed with haiku "death" poems (sung in Japanese)
whose delicate, epigrammatic texts provide a peaceful commentary on
the liturgical words. The result is a deeply moving expression of
spirituality, whose musical tying together of different cultures
provides a link that is highly appropriate to the modern world.
This powerful book will appeal to choirs wanting to sing an unusual
but appealing and effective piece: the full scoring of the work
includes a part for Japanese flute (shakuhachi) and an array of
unusual drums.
