Conductor:
Robert Spano

Background: Hector Berlioz once wrote, 'If I were threatened with the destruction of everything I have created except for one work, I would beg mercy for the Requiem.'

The massive work, which Berlioz wrote for large chorus, orchestra, plus four added brass ensembles, was premiered in Paris's Church of St. Louis des Invalides in 1837 for the state funeral of the Comte de Damremont, the French governor-general of Algeria, who died in the fighting to subdue the city of Constantine. Poet Alfred de Vigny, who attended, along with the royal family, most of the court and national government, described Requiem as 'strange and beautiful, wild, convulsive and painful.'
