VI) of the Requiem that I composed in 2007, as performed by the Orlando Chamber Singers under the direction of Gregory Ruffer on May 18, 2008. I had wanted to write a requiem for quite some time, having been swept away by the Requiems of Brahms, Faure, Rutter, Durufle, Mozart and Daley.
  
  "Life's work well done,
  Life's race well run,
  Life's crown well won,
  Now comes rest."
  
  --- Edward Hazen Parker
  
  
  If [they] have given you delight
  By aught that [they] have done,
  Let [them] lie quiet in that night
  Which shall be yours anon:
  And for that little, little span
  The dead are borne in mind
  Seek not to question other than
  The [deeds] [they] leave behind.
  
  --- Kipling
