This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
Format : Sheet music The Requiem was composed during Campra s tenure as the director of music at the cathedral of Notre Dame. It was commissioned for a service in memory of the deceased Archbishop of Paris. At the end of the 18th century it became a tradition in southern France to perform movements of Campra s Requiem during funerals or at memorial services: There is evidence from as late as 1805 which verifies this practice. The scoring of this work is remarkable in that it calls for four groups of performers: a five-voice Grand Ch ur a 2 3 voice Petit Ch ur three vocal soloists as well as an instrumental group designated as a Symphonie.
Instrumentation : Soli, Chor und Klavier
