Next week we will do the Lacrymosa (p91-105) and another Dies Irae section (p85-89). Jo This website allows you to hear your individual part for practice. Several choir members have bought this rehearsal aid which is excellent. Costs around £20 and takes about a week to arrive. If you want to buy a CD of the Verdi 'Requiem' this one is a little pricey but worth the investment: Muti/Pavarotti (It is also available to dowload from play.com for £11.99 and available on Spotify if you subscribe) And this one's not at all bad for the bargain price: Abbado/Gheorghiu |
