Herbert Howells - Requiem (score video)

KOFI ➡️ https://ko-fi.com/joshuagawley

Written in 1932, Herbert Howells' Requiem gained a new personal significance in the wake of the death of his son Michael in 1935, at the tender age of nine. He would go on to use the Requiem almost as a sketchbook for Hymnus Paradisi, his best-known work, but the Requiem itself would lay forgotten until 1980, when Howells was persuaded to have it published and the BBC Singers gave a first performance.

Sung by the Finzi Singers under the direction of Paul Spicer.
