"Requiem" Differs From Most Choral Works, Dean Says
Verdi's Oratorio Will Be Sung by Choral Union in Auditorium April 30
"The Requiem" differs from many choral works in several aspects; throughout the work the chorus and bass sing together rather than the solo parts being independent, "Dean Donald M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts," said in commending upon the oratorio, "While we were seldom composed of a great solenion music composed upon the death of Mazoni, a great Italian poet, yet it is so dramatic and so operatic that probably no work excels better." The average audience, "added the dean."
Verdi is best known through his operas; IT Trovarotte, Aida, Rigoletto, and others. These are full of melodies of all music lovers. The “Requiem” abounds in melody of the greatest beauty and is in no sense inefficient.
Reoniem in Seven Parts
The **requirement in Seventh Parts** is that work is divided into seven divisions; the divisions and Kyre, which is made up of various solo parts accompanied by the chorus.
The second division, Dies Iris or the Day of Wrath, has eight sub-divisions distributed between solos, trios, and quartets by the solist supported at times by the chorus. This is probably the most overpowering part of the work.
The third division, Domine Jesu, is arranged for the soloists only.
The fourth division, Sanctus and Benedictus, is written in eight parts for double choruses. This part is the most important in the music today, Dean Swarthout said.
The fifth division, Agnus Dei, is arranged for the soprano and mezzoprono followed immediately by the tenor, imsion, and then in four part harmony.
Performance to Be Given Tuesday
The sixth division, Communion, is given to trios by the mezzo-soprano tennor and bass.
The composition ends with the seeth part, Libera Me or Lord Delive the seeth part, Libera Me or Lord Delive the several declaratory measures followed by the finale which builds up an overpowering climax in the final fugue, and then diminishes. It ends as it will.
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.
