REQUIEM
for Choir, Soprano, Alto, and Orchestra
I. Requiem Æternam
II. Offertorium
III. Tuba Mirum
IV. Pie Jesu
V. Te Deum
VI. Lux Æternam
VII. In Paradisum
“Prior to drafting the first notes of my Requiem, I had to establish what text to set to music. Of course, the
traditional Latin passages of the Missa pro defunctis (‘Mass for the Dead’) needed to figure prominently. While I
initially considered incorporating English prose as well, perhaps some lines of Walt Whitman or original wording,
I ultimately decided to retain solely the liturgical setting. This afforded me complete freedom to explore my
musical muse and allows the listener to focus regard on the musical expressions rather than being tethered to a
printed text. Nonetheless, the music does, in fact, underscore the objectives of the Latin.
In contemplating the various manuscripts of the Requiem Mass, I was surprised at the quantity of “fire-and-
brimstone” references depicting God as an angry, vengeful personality. I intentionally edited out these horrific
attributes in order to personify the Deity as compassionate and benevolent. The commonly implemented Dies Iræ
was just too violent for my concept of a requiem. In its place is the Tuba Mirum – which speaks more to the
resurrection and glorification of living creatures than to the damnation of souls and God’s wrathful judgments. The
Sanctus text is, in effect, a miniaturization of the Te Deum. Therefore, the extended content of the Te Deum better
lent itself to the scope of the musical lines I felt this section needed. The entire work is cast into seven movements.
However, an overall architecture prevails throughout its 50-minute sojourn.
This opus is an intensely intimate and personal expression of my art. Its ultimate objective, nevertheless, is to
reach to the listener’s core and provoke contemplation of the paramount enigmas of life – love and death.
Requiem was composed in the latter part of 2003, during the period of a broken heart, and completed on
Christmas Day of the same year.
The premiere performance of Requiem took place on April 25, 2004, in Salt Lake City, Utah at the Cathedral
of the Madeleine, under my baton, with the Oratorio Society of Utah (Morris F. Lee, music director), the
Intermountain Chamber Festival Orchestra, with soprano Julie Wright Costa and alto Aubrey Adams McMillan.”
