The City Choir of Washington concludes its twelfth season with one of
the most popular choral works ever written: Mozart’s immortal Requiem.
Maestro Shafer invites you to explore the baroque influences that shaped
Mozart’s masterpiece, including Handel’s Messiah the Uppsala Magnificat
by German composer Heinrich Schütz. Schütz studied in Venice and took
their poly-choral practices back to Northern Germany. It is a thrilling and
rarely-heard piece for three choirs and orchestra.
