SATB Choral; Chorus; Piano (VOCAL SCORE) SKU: HL.48018952 Complete Vocal Score. Composed by Karl Jenkins. BH Large Choral. Classical, Contemporary. 112 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060116841. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48018952). ISBN 9780851624853. UPC: 073999238532. 7.25x10.25x0.353 inches.(2004, 55 minutes) Karl Jenkins' Requiem sets the traditional Latin text of the Requiem mass, including the extra movements included by Fauré and Duruflé – 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.
