Composed in 1836 at the end of Cherubini’s life and tenure as director of the Paris Conservatoire, the D-minor Requiem for men’s chorus and orchestra received its premiere on March 23, 1838 at the Conservatoire under the composer’s direction. This new vocal score is a digitally enhanced reprint of the one first issued around 1860 by C. F. Peters in a piano reduction prepared by the German organist Hugo Uhlrich (1827-1872). The large conductor score and orchestral parts for this edition are also available from Serenissima Music (92588).
