Dies Irae

"The bulk of the guide is a description of 250 requiems. Each entry includeds a concise biography of the composer and a description of the composition, including details of voicing, orchestration, editions, and discography. An extensive bibliography lists dictionaries, encyclopedias, prayer books, monographs, and articles, and an appendix lists more than 1700 requiems not discussed within the main text."--Jacket.
