Requiem

Commissioned by the government of Thailand as a memorial to the victims of
the 9/11 tragedy, Somtow Sucharitkul's Requiem takes its inspiration from the
words of great American poets: T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson.
Tom Mintier of CNN called in "a moving work"in a feature that aired on the
anniversary of the tragedy. Set for soprano, large chorus and orchestra, the
three-movement work is a triptych on the themes of Devastation, Mourning, and
Hope.
This is a study score that contains the entire orchestral and vocal music of the Requiem in a convenient and readable A4 size.
