Colin Mawby's Requiem of Hope is a distinguished mature work displaying this composer's immediately recognisable style at its most approachable and impassioned. Mawby uses the texts of the traditionalLatin Requiem Mass but adds three English texts - a blessing by an unknown author and one each by Henry Vaughan and John Henry Newman. Requiem of Hope is scored for a soprano soloist mixed voices (withdivisi) and organ or small orchestra of strings harp two trumpets organ and percussion. Performance time is approximately 35 minutes.
