Stravinsky - Requiem Canticles (1966) with score

Prelude - 0:00 Exaudi - 1:15 Dies Irae - 3:05 Tuba Mirum - 4:09 Interlude - 5:25 Rex Tremendae - 8:22 Lacrimosa - 9:45 Libera Me - 11:53 Postlude - 13:11 Stravinsky’s last masterpiece not only takes his dodecaphonic technique in new directions (for instance using two different note rows for the first time), it also sums up his life’s work, with quotations from Symphonies of Wind Instruments and Symphony of Psalms, referencing the violence of the Rite of Spring in the Dies Irae, and ending with a 12-note version of the bells of Les Noces. Robert Craft conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Simon Joly Chorale.
