Book Reviews of Requiem in Full Score (Dover Miniature Music Scores)
Book Review: Great Music, Great Score
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this score as a study tool in order to better understand the subtle nuances in scoring, orchestration, and music theory behind one of my favorite requiems. I got this product earlier than I expected (thanks to Amazon.com's great shipping) and was immediately surprised at the quality of this product. The pages were thicker and had much better binding than I had seen in other music editions (notably, this includes some rather pricey European editions...). I had read several reviewers' complaints that the print was too small and expected to need a reading glass. Fortunately, I was able to clearly read the music from a reasonable distance and would be willing to say that it is suitable for use while performing. The fact that the Dover edition is much more portable and durable than pricier editions is also a great plus for a "field performer" like myself in that you can take it around to various practice spots without worrying so much about damaging it just by holding it (again, this is in contrast to some pricier editions I have used). Overall, I found the scores to be accurate reflections of the music itself and could spot no immediately apparent musical errors, though I am by no means a musicologist. I would strongly recommend this edition if one is looking for a cheaper, more durable alternative to pricier editions that don't offer the same quality of binding and printing.
Summary of Requiem in Full Score (Dover Miniature Music Scores)
Considered by some as Verdi's finest composition, this highly dramatic work combines original melodies with liturgical strains in a tour de force of melodic invention, absolute technical mastery, and virtuoso orchestration. This enduringly popular work is scored for four solo voices ? soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, and bass ? chorus, and orchestra.
