Aeternum: Requiem for Chorus

Aeternum - The Chamber Requiem is a uniquely intimate and accessible mass ideally suited to small memorial services as well chamber music performances. Its poignance, drama, and uplifting nature bring all religions together with a universal expression of faith, hope and love. Violinist Christian Anzinger has said of the work: “Aeternum is a masterpiece composed by you. It seems for me a quite challenging piece for the choir and soprano. Your marvelous technique in writing music allows me to listen to your refined artistic expressions of touching faith, love, hope in resurrection and trusting God in its glory.” This version is written for SATB chorus and a small chamber orchestra. The harpsichord and organ do not play at the same time, so may be performed by a single player. Likewise, the timpani and tubular bells never play together, so may be performed by a single percussionist. Versions for solo soprano with violin and viola accompaniment (1950142) and a small choir of sopranos and up to six players for each of the violin and viola parts (2321267) are also available from the publisher.
