Requiem in C minor

Composed in 1816 to memorialize the death by execution of King Louis XVI, this Requiem received its premiere on January 21, 1817 under the composer's direction. The iminor Requiem firmly established Cherubini's position as a major composer on the Paris scene thereafter. This new vocal score is a digitally enhanced reprint of the one first issued around 1860 by C. F. Peters in a piano reduction prepared by the German organist Hugo Ulrich (1827-1872).
