• A note from Gordon regarding this edition of the Requiem

There are numerous “versions” of the Mozart Requiem that are available to choir
directors and conductors for performance. Most are far from satisfactory or satisfying
to perform. The one available from Kalmus Music is an old Breitkof & Hartel edition
and has the trombones sitting out most of the piece. Most disappointing is the tacet
during the Kyrie movement. There is another edition by the British publisher Novello
that I performed in 1974 at a church in Toronto. This edition has the Tuba Mirum solo
normally played by the tenor player (2nd part) in the alto (1st) part in alto clef. Also the
stems are backwards which makes the part very difficult to read. Finally, there is a
wonderful edition by the publisher Bärenreiter, however the alto (1st) part is written out in
tenor clef. For some (including myself) this can make the technical navigation in the
Kyrie movement terrifying.

I have taken the liberty to print out a “new” authentic edition, with all of the above
problems fixed and hope you find it satisfactory. Please do get in touch with me for any
errors or suggestions you may have for it.

Sincerely,

Gordon Cherry
