All Souls

Today is All Souls Day - a time to commemorate the dead and a wonderful opportunity to sing (and play) some glorious Requiem Masses.

Such works by Faure and Durufle have become traditional to sing for such services but, more recently, John Rutter's Requiem has found its place and new settings are being written all the time. A new addition is the Requiem by Bob Chilcott  - follow the link on Bob's name to find out details about the score.

Whatever your musical plans for the day, it's a good date on which to remember all those who have given service to music in your own church but now rest in greater glory in God's heavenly Kingdom.
