Description
Henderson I'd like to name them all by name: the Anna Akhmatova Requiem
Barber Agnus Dei
Schonberg Friede auf Erde
At least one composer has put down his pen forever after singing Mozart’s Requiem realising that the greatest expression of grief and loss had already been written and, what is worse, left incomplete.It is fitting that Barber’s Agnus Dei is presented alongside this work with its rich harmonies and searching melodies. Australian composer Moya Henderson’s major new work explores the passion and dedication of women in Stalinist Russia during a period of great repression and is written to some of the most moving text you will ever hear.
