Cherubini Requiem in C Minor
Description
"If I were to write a Requiem, Cherubini's would be my only model" - Ludwig van Beethoven
Cherubini's Requiem in C Minor was commissioned by King Louis XVIII of France in 1816 for a memorial service to commemorate the anniversary of the executions of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
It was highly regarded by many of his contemporaries, including Schumann, who praised it as being "without equal in the world" and was performed at Beethoven's funeral.
