Composed by Giuseppe Verdi. Arranged by Kempton, Jeremy. Classical,Opera,Romantic Period,Sacred. 29 pages. Gordon Cherry #4803107. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792267).Verdi dedicated his Requiem to the poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni whom he greatly admired. The first performance was given in 1874 on the first anniversary of Manzoni's death. It was a great popular success and Verdi toured with it all over Europe. The Latin text of the "Dies irae" or "Day of Wrath" portrays the day of judgment.
The "Dies irae" is, in itself, very lengthy, in nine sections. It has been greatly abridged to make it practical for performance by trombonists. Most trombonists take great pleasure and pride in their ability to play loud. However, to achieve the dramatic contrasts essential for this piece it is necessary to focus on extremely soft, but still beautiful, playing in the piano passages.
Mr. Kempton has done a great job of bringing this soul-stiring work to life. About 8 minutes in length, this work for advanced performers is most effective having more than one person on a part.
