I studied the War Requiem in college (and used it for a couple of honors thesis lectures about Poetry and Music for a class of wide-eyed sophomores.) But a high point of my life was singing it with the May Festival Chorus in 2001, both in Cincinnati and then at Carnegie Hall, a month to the day after September 11th.
Are you familiar with the Vaughn Williams Dona Nobis Pacem? That one packs a wallop, too. That was the last thing I got to sing with the Chorus before I got my Wee Hob back. I should add that to my album playlist. That one doesn't take kindly to being chopped up one a songs playlist.
