Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor, K.626, as we now have it, is actually the work of several composers since Mozart died before its completion. It is especially puzzling because of the uncertainty of its origins. This choral score contains the choir and soloist parts, with a piano reduction of the orchestral parts. The text is in Latin, and the Table of Contents lists the 12 sections and adds the text of each of them in the description. Includes: Requiem * Dies Irae * Tuba Mirum * Rex Tremendae * Recordare * Confutatis *Lacrymosa * Domine Jesu * Hostias * Sanctus * Benedictus * Agnus Dei.

A collection of essays on music and life by the famed classical pianist and composer Stephen Hough is one of the world’s leading pianists, winning global acclaim and numerous awards, both for his concerts and his recordings. He is also a writer, composer, and painter, and has been described by The Economist as one of “Twenty Living Polymaths.” Hough writes informally and engagingly about music and the life of a musician, from the broader aspects of what it is to walk out onto a stage or to make a recording, to specialist tips from deep inside the practice room: how to trill, how to pedal, how to practice. He also writes vividly about people he’s known, places he’s traveled to, books he’s read, paintings he’s seen; and he touches on more controversial subjects, such as assisted suicide and abortion. Even religion is there—the possibility of the existence of God, problems with some biblical texts, and the challenges involved in being a gay Catholic. Rough Ideas is an illuminating, constantly surprising introduction to the life and mind of one of our great cultural figures.

A work of emotional power and sublime beauty, Mozart's Requiem provides the ultimate voice to the composer's genius. This authoritative piano-vocal version includes a full translation of the Latin text.
