"Requiem" Differs From Most Choral Works, Dean Says Verdi's Oratorio Will Be Sung by Choral Union in Auditorium April 30
"The Requisit" differ from many choral works in several aspects throughout the work the cherries and salves are linked together in passages that express their eminent president," Dean Donald M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts, said in commending upon the oratorio, "While the choir has sung so great a solent mass composed upon the death of Mazoni, a great Italian poet, yet it is so dramatic and so oeratic that probably no work excels more." "A great average audience," added the dean.
Verdi is best known through his operas; II Trovatore, Akira, Rigetto, III Bastian, and others, only that many are the common heritage of all music lovers. The "Requiem" abounds in melody of the beauty and is in no sense involved.
Requiem in Seven Parts
The work is divided into seven divisions; the first, Introit and Kyrie, which is made up of various solo parts accompanied by the chorus.
The second division, Dies Irace or the Day of Wrath, has eight sub-divisions distributed between solois, trio, and quartets by the solist supported at times by the chorus. This is probably most overpowering part of the work.
The third division, Domine Jesu, is arranged for the solistos only.
The fourth division, Sanctus and Benedictus, is written in eight parts for double choruses. This part is the third in the series and is music today, Dean Swartwout.
The fifth division, Agnus Dei, is arranged for the soprano and mezzo-soprano followed immediately by the bassoon, unison, and in then four part harmony.
Performance to Be Given Tuesday
The sixth division, Communion, is given to trios by the mezzo-soprano tenor and bass.
The composition ends with the seventh part, Libera Me or Lord Deliver Me, in which the soprano opens with the tenor and the bass, then by the finale which builds up an overpowering climax in the final fugue, and then diminishes. It ends as it goes.
Soprano Soloist
The "Requiem" will be sung by the Lawrence Choral Union at the Auditorium Tuesday evening. The University Symphony orchestra and four solos will also take part in the performance.
Miss Marie Montana, soprano, who will sing in Verdi's "Requiem" which will be given Tuesday evening.
