Description
Da Vinci Requiem by Leonardo (da Vinci) A poignant and thought-provoking work, Da Vinci Requiem brings together extracts from The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci with texts from the Latin Missa pro defunctis. This seven-movement piece presents a profound exploration of mortality, set against a rich and atmospheric backdrop created by the orchestra. The contrasting moods of dark sonority and energetic 'Sanctus' are juxtaposed with the luminous 'Lux aeterna', creating a powerful allusion to da Vinci's concept of 'The Perspective of Disappearance'. The result is a work that casts new light on familiar Requiem texts, inviting reflection and contemplation. Sheet music for soprano and baritone soloists, SATB chorus, and orchestra.
