Requiem, for countertenor, small chorus & organ. In autumn 1996, George Lloyd suffered heart failure, and was treated in hospital for some weeks. He was determined to carry on working however, as he felt that he had more music which he wanted to write, and within a year he had completed a cello concerto. The strain of that work caused further deterioration in his health, and recognising that his days were probably numbered, he set about writing his Requiem Mass, dedicated to the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales (1961 - 1997). He felt that his strength would not be equal to the effort required to compose a full orchestral score, so he wrote for small chorus, counter-tenor soloist, and organ. The score of the Requiem was completed in early 1998, and he finished the proof-reading about six weeks before he was once again admitted to hospital suffering from heart failure. He died on July 3rd, 1998, at the age of 85.
