Requiem for 3 male voices, chorus and organ. The requiem mass was for Pope Leo XIII (= Gioacchino Pecci, 02/03/1810 - 20/07/1903) in 1903 and dedicated to his pupil and friend Ferruccio Manegazzi who died in 1897. It is a magnificent, large-scale work which runs the gamut from hushed intimacy to imposing grandeur.
