A requiem for four SATB choruses and four instrumental ensembles. Duration: ca. 23. The work requires an extremely live performance space, preferably a large cathedral.
Premiere was in May 1990.
The text is from statements Mozart made the day he died. This Requiem has always shared the program with the Mozart Requiem. The final movement of this Requiem incorporates the 12 tone row from the Graveyard Scene in Mozart's Don Giovanni, originally discovered by Darius Milhaud,
and mentioned to Moran as a possible inclusion in a future work.
Group I: front of public-SATB chorus, 2 violins, viola, cello,
string bass, trombone and keyboard synthesizer
Group II: SATB chorus at the back of the cathedral-with 3 violins, viola,
cello, string bass, 2 trombones, keyboard synthesizer
Groups III and IV: (on either side of the public) SATB chorus, 2 violins,
viola, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet (in C)
