| Added by magataganm, 03 Sep 2013 Carl Ludwig Drobisch (1803 - 1854) was a German composer. He worked intensively with the mathematical determination on pitch conditions and published numerous works on this theory. As a result, he had great influence on contemporary music. Since 1826, he was a music teacher, especially for theoretical music lessons, and in 1837 Kapellmeister of the Protestant Church in Leipzig. Drobisch wrote numerous choral works, including this Requiem (No .2) in D Minor. The Requiem is a mass honoring the dead, takes its name from the first Latin word of the Introit, which begins Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine (Grant them eternal rest, O Lord). A musical setting of the requiem differs from the normal sung Mass in that it not only includes certain items of the ordinary mass and excludes others, but also includes the Introit, Gradual, Offertory, and Communion sentences from the Proper. The Gloria and Credo are omitted, and a Tract is substituted for the Alleluia. This is followed by the Sequence (Dies irae), which is often is a major dramatic element in the composition. Sometimes responses and other texts are added from the burial service, which usually follows directly after the Mass. Although originally created for accompanied chorus, I created this arrangement for Concert (Pedal) Harp & String Ensemble (Violins (2), Viola & Cello). | |||
