No, it's not some awful composition I've just come across, it's another game! If this has already been done, like almost all my other threads, I apologise profusely with the least sincerity imaginable. :tiphat:
So, the game is that you have to stitch together a frankenstein requiem by choosing your favourite components from multiple requiems and putting them together. So, for example, your favourite Introitus might be by one composer, while your favourite Agnus Dei is by another. I'll start:
Introitus: Mozart
Kyrie: Mozart
Graduale: Dvořák
Dies irae: Verdi
Tuba mirum: Verdi
Lacrimosa: Mozart
Offertorium: Dvořák
Sanctus: Verdi
Pie Jesu: Fauré
Agnus Dei: Fauré
Obviously, most musical settings are different, so you might have quite a mash-up! Personally, if I could, I would add the entire Gloria from Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle, but that's strictly not part of the requiem text. And if I were going to break all the rules, I'd add the 'Herr, lehre doch mich' from Brahms's Deutsches Requiem.
