Has anyone put together any easy-to-follow booklet for choirs for the 1962 Requiem, including the absolutions?
I could see a way of splicing this together from ‘Mass and Vespers’, but even that will require obvious truncations eg. The circumstances in which the burial immediately follows Mass are so rare as to be virtually non-existent now, yet I rarely hear the ‘Ego sum’ and Benedictus following the ‘In Paradisum’
