Plenary Lecture:

 

Beyond the old Requiem of fear, the music of hope: the Requiem of Mercy

Prof. Luciano Simoni
University of Bologna
Italy

 

Abstract: After a brief survey of the most significant Requiems on the old Latin text, the reasons which have led the author to put in music a very different, -post Concilium- text (wholly taken from the Bible), are made clear and the meaning of the new Requiem shown. The different parts of the work are explained so as to help its listening. The Requiem of Mercy, in memory of the great Pope Johann Paul II, is a hymn to the mercy of God and to the hope of resurrection.
