These include Kaddish by Leonard Bernstein and Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Otomos return is important. It helps the choir complete the vision of their leader. They are doing this under the guidance of his student.
Experts in music and people who love music praise Verdis Requiem. Verdi wrote it to remember a writer named Alessandro Manzoni. This piece is one of the three famous funeral masses. The others are by Mozart and Fauré. Even though it was written for a service Verdi added drama. He used voices and big orchestras. This is similar, to the way he wrote for the opera. The piece has loud parts. It has gentle parts. The Dies Irae has brass. The Lacrymosa has beautiful singing. The music needs a lot of strength from the singers. It also needs an strong orchestra.
