The most famous funeral mass after Mozart’s Requiem was called “an opera in church clothes” already in the 19th century. Verdi’s Requiem is still heard mainly in theatre and concert halls. However, the author himself intended this composition to be performed in church, and on special occasions.

Performed by soloists and musicAeterna choir and orchestra, Verdi’s Requiem seems to return from the concert stage into the temple space. The seven parts of the Requiem become steps on the way to comprehending the sacrament of death, the operatic character of orchestral and vocal writing acquires the strictness of the Catholic tradition, and musical images of rage, despair, and rebellion against the inevitable end are crowned with appeasement.

English

Самую известную траурную мессу после Реквиема Моцарта еще в XIX столетии называли «оперой в церковных одеждах». Реквием Верди до сих пор звучит преимущественно в театральных и концертных залах. Однако сам автор предназначал это сочинение для исполнения в церкви, причем, по особым поводам.

В исполнении солистов, хора и оркестра musicAeterna Реквием Верди словно возвращается с концертной эстрады в храмовое пространство. Семь частей Реквиема становятся ступенями на пути к постижению таинства смерти, оперный характер оркестрового и вокального письма (композитор писал Реквием одновременно с «Аидой») обретает строгость католической традиции, а музыкальные образы ярости, отчаяния и бунта против неизбежного конца увенчиваются умиротворением.

Композитор ведет слушателей от трагического пролога Requiem е Kyrie через картины страшного суда в самой крупной, состоящей из девяти разделов части Sequentia (Dies irae) к созерцательному Офферторию. Вслед за мощной жизнеутверждающей двойной фугой Sanctus звучит нежная лирика Agnus Dei и Lux aeterna. Верди напоминает о смятении и ужасе в заключительной части Libera me, но завершает Реквием прозрачным мажорным аккордом, буквально воплощающим lux perpetua – свет вечный.
