Throu ghout the work, the text continually confirms the relationship of time and death, and the colorful but terrifying environments that only too few have survived. There is also the sense of time that is found in growing up; the too soon conclusion of life as in Frozen Ceremony - the static going nowhere of the midnight ladies - the age old plea of the Neon Philosopher - the time is out of Starbright - the sudden awareness of getting older in Funeral Weather.

Sing in joy and sadness; let others sing along. Life is but a weaving threads of darkness and of light. With faith in your tomorrow, your dreams can all take flight. This message is combined with suave vocal writing and a lightly rhythmic accompaniment to make a stunning work. A great choice for an end-of-year concert or moving-on ceremony.

Joha nn Adolf Hasse, Kapellmeister at the Saxon-Polish court in Dresden, composed the Requiem in C major for the ceremonial exequies of the deceased Elector Friedrich August II in November 1763 in the Catholic Hofkirche in Dresden. With this work he composed a monument in music to his long-standing, generous employer, who was also King of Poland under the name August III: passionate choral movements, echoes of historic compositional styles, expressive vocal solos and arias which undeniably reveal Hasse the opera composer, and trumpets and timpani in the orchestra - all these are the ingredients of a royal Requiem Mass in the style of a Missa solemnis.Hasse's much smaller-scale Requiem in B flat, which we are now publishing for the first time, was presumably composed as early as the second half of the 1750s. Nothing is known about the occasion for which this beautiful work was composed, or even whether it was performed during the composer's lifetime. Perhaps the Seven Years War, in which the electorate of Saxony was involved, prevented any performance. Several borrowings from it in his Requiem in C and in the later Requiem in E flat show that Hasse held the work in high regard.The Hasse Works Edition (HWA) is published in collaboration with the Hasse-Gesellschaft Bergedorf e. V. and is intended to serve both scholarship and the needs of performing musicians with scholarly-critical editions of Hasse's music.
