description Requiem (Schnittke) Overview
Alfred Schnittke's Requiem is a large sacred concert work composed in 1974 and 1975, initially connected with incidental music for a production of Friedrich Schiller's Don Carlos. Scored for soloists, chorus, and an unusual instrumental ensemble, it sets traditional Latin Requiem texts while adding the Credo. The work juxtaposes chant-like writing, tonal passages, dense dissonance, percussion, electric guitar, and other contrasting sonorities associated with Schnittke's polystylistic language.
