Requiem
Messa da Requiem for SMezTB Soli, Choir and Orchestra
By Giuseppe Verdi

this edition is clear and well laid out. It has bar numbers so it can be used with a number of orchestral scores. itis also well priced. It is streets ahead of the Schirmer that my choir had us order with the missing bar lines and the English translation (why...

?) one quibble why translate certain markings into german?

This piece of music is The Real Thing. It has been called Verdi's greatest opera, and that may well be true. From begining to end, it's simply magnificent. MAGNIFICENT. ACE. T-H-E BEST!

This opera in the form of a requiem contains so many wonderful demands on each soloist as well as all sections of the chorus(es). What a delight to sing and hear. Audiences recognize the compositional excellence in what they hear, and they "feel" the drama that Verdi invested into...

this memorial for a friend. Join a chorus that will sing it! You won't be disappointed.

I like this score except for the fact that the dynamic markings have been translated into German from the original Italian,where the Italian is 'il piu p possible,' the score says 'so leise wie moeglich'and where the Italian is 'con voce cupa e tristissima,' the German is 'Aausserst...

leise mit duesterer Stimme und sehr traurig.' (Fortunately I speak German but for others...)

Anyone who has the chance to sing the Verdi Requiem with full orchestra can count themselves lucky. Initially, our choir handed out another edition of the choral score. It was hard to read, with both the original Latin and an English translation of the text taking up a lot of...

room on the page. There were also printed note and text errors. Someone recommended purchasing this edition, and because I know Peters editions to always be of highest quality, I did so. This edition is flawless and easy to read, with Latin text only, and includes measure numbers throughout.
