- Building on six years of research, Rees presents a study of 120,000 words alongside an online edition of the work (55 pp). Archival work was undertaken in Madrid, Rome, and Vienna, and extended research on documents in the British Library. The supporting database of polyphonic Requiems of the period is the most comprehensive to date. Historical evidence and its analysis develop an enhanced multifaceted understanding of Victoria’s Requiem (regarding the circumstances of its creation, performance, and publication, and detailed musical analysis) but also a revised view of international traditions within the repertories of music for the dead.
