Requiem in C minor
Less polished than Jommelli's requiem, but more committed emotionally, is the requiem in C minor by Georg Reutter jr. (1753). Not primarily an opera composer, he is most effective in majestic choral passages such as the opening of the "Sanctus". In the sequence (and sporadically elsewhere) the idea of ‘judgment’ is portrayed by clarino fanfares, and the "Tuba mirum" is set as a reflective alto solo with an imitative countermelody (in an interesting anticipation of Mozart's setting) for solo trombone.
Requiem in G minor
