About this concert
‘Requiem’ – the first word of the Liturgy for the Dead – has become synonymous with a genre that has existed for more than five centuries. The polyphonist Johannes Ockeghem is responsible for the very first complete and polyphonic Requiem. His pioneering composition smoothed the way for Pierre de La Rue, who in turn built a spectacular construction out of existing melodies.
