I was listening to the radio this afternoon and heard the requiem. As a teenager I sang it either in 1964 or 1965, over 50 years ago! Parts of this are extraordinarily beautiful to me and hold great personal meaning. Hearing the requiem this afternoon for just a moment brought me back to my younger days. I saw the world as it was then, and I felt I thought as I did then. But just for a moment. This was time travel and was both remarkable and also sad because of all that has happened since. But the requiem still has beauty for me. I am not sure if I prefer a boy soprano or a female for the pie jesu. Any recommendations for a wonderful performance. Thanks Norm
