Lux aeterna © Sony 19075862152 In 1816 the Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia completed his imposing fourth (and last) requiem; it is widely regarded as his finest work.
The Requiem, composed in 1816 at the request of King João IV, was intended as a memorial for João's recently deceased mother, queen Maria I, but Garcia probably also considered it a requiem for his own mother, Vitória Maria da Cruz, who had also died that year. The Requiem is in d minor, the same key as Mozart's Requiem, and is reminiscent of that work in several passages. As a whole, however, Garcia's Requiem is a unique masterpiece.
In March 20th died coincidently the portuguese queen, Dona Maria the first, and Vitória Maria, José Mauricio Nunes Garcia's mother. The queen's death, in the Convent of Carmo, turned the city into mourn. The funeral carriage passed through many streets to the burial in the Convent of Ajuda. The people followed the carriage in silence. Her funeral was celebrated solemnly in the Royal Chapel, with a Requiem mass and an Officium for the dead composed and conducted by Marcos Portugal.
It is not known where Nunes Garcia's mother Vitória Maria was buried. But the sorrow of her son would be revealed in his Missa de requiem - Requiem mass and in the Ofício dos defuntos - Officium for the dead, requested by the Ordem Terceira do Carmo to their funeral mass in the memory of the queen. These are regarded today as his two masterpieces. |
