Herbert Howells' Requiem, written for unaccompanied choir, is a deeply personal work that blends traditional Latin texts from the Mass with English-language psalms like Psalm 23, offering a unique expression of grief, hope, and spiritual solace following the composer's son's death. The Requiem is known for its "pure Howellsian gold," a distinctive style combining Tudor polyphony with 20th-century harmony, and its emotional resonance, moving from intense sorrow to profound hope.
