Purchase here: https://www.carus-verlag.com/en/music-scores-and-recordings/giuseppe-verdi-messa-da-requiem-2730300.html
-
Verdi Requiem Vocal Scores: Carus 27.303/04
-
Verdi Requiem XL Print Vocal Scores: Carus 27.303/04
Notes: DO NOT purchase the “Choral Score” – this includes only choral parts, no orchestra reduction or soloist music, making it more difficult to understand cues. Carus has a very helpful “Choir Coach” available as both download (recommended) and mp3 CD. These highlight each part for individual singers with a real singer, and include a “coach in slow mode” at 70% of tempo. This is a great aid to singers especially beginning with reading music.
