Drawing on a long association with China and Chinese culture and traditions, the Flemish-born composer and pianist Peter Ritzen celebrates Chinese achievement in his Chinese requiem, with a text by the Spanish sinologist Santiago Rupérz Durá. The work follows the pattern of the Catholic Requiem Mass, without resorting to the Latin text.
