Verdi- Dies Irae

The amount of epiphanies we’ve had to this Requiem…there’s not much out there that can musically convey such anger, such resentment, such explosive emotion- in this case the kind that surrounds the death of the composer’s good friend. It’s an impressively abrasive piece for a funeral mass and one that continues to express our inner Fury. Truly, at our most inflamed, no piece comes closer to expressing the battling raging in our head. Now, we’ll need to translate the Latin to see how off we are on this track…
On that note Happy Saturday!
