Musical Notes
I first sang Brahms' Requiem in my second term of choral singing. Having recently performed the Christmas Oratorio and the Messiah, I was initially not taken with this very different kind of music, but warmed to it as the weeks went by. It's now up there as one of my absolute favourite pieces of music.
