About this work
The Requiem’s opening seems to emerge from silence: the choir enters with restrained voices, supported by an orchestra that prolongs more than it comments. The growth towards the first collective surges must retain that fragile origin.
In rehearsal, establish consonant lengths and continuity of breath among the sections. The orchestral basses provide the pulse without requiring every bar to become heavy.
Prepare crescendos through the phrase rather than through volume alone. Contrasts will carry further when the choir subsequently recovers a genuinely restrained dynamic and stable tuning.
