‘Zur Komposition
My Requiem is in seven movements and mixes the traditional Latin Requiem Mass text with poetry by Bridges, Whitman and Keats. The work has no dramatic tension; it”s like a lullaby for the dead and a means of comfort for those who remain. It”s very much a work wishing the person a peaceful journey into the after life following the examples of the Brahms, Fauré and Rutter Requiem”s.
The fifth movement sums up the whole meaning of the work. It”s a scherzo movement (in a Requiem?), which reminds us that the dead will always live on in the memory of the people they leave behind them. (Adrian Connell)
