Carus Verlag: The New Mozart Requiem

The English conductor and composer Howard Arman has presented us with a completed version of Mozart’s Requiem. [Requiem]( Completed and edited by Howard Arman by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart The English conductor and composer Howard Arman has presented us with a completed version of Mozart’s Requiem. After two decades of intensive study, Howard Arman’s additions to Mozart’s great original show the requisite care and respect while incorporating many new insights.   Arman’s approach is particularly fruitful. Always aware of the appropriate limits to such re-creative work, he orients himself towards the typical characteristics of Mozart’s brilliant composing style: The masterly compositional technique, the search for innovative solutions to every problem, and even the terse treatment of the text with extremely suggestive harmonies.   All of this leads to a number of new listening experiences. In the Tuba mirum, for example, we enjoy a warm, cohesive ensemble sound, supported by the bassoons, which depart from the bass line. The Confutatis presents a quite different picture: Even the basset horns are drawn down into the infernal depths. This effect is reinforced by the independence of the trombones; rather than simply following the choral parts, the instrument’s unique sound is given an opportunity to shine.         [LEARN MORE]( STAY CONNECTED WITH US [Facebook]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( [LinkedIn]( [TikTok]( [Blog]( All Contents Copyright © 1997-2024, Sheet Music Plus.
