Verdi composed the Requiem in 1874 to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Alessandro Manzoni, the Italian patriot and poet. What interested Verdi in the sacred text of the Mass for the Dead was not only the prayer for absolution or the striving for eternal life. To him, the requiem mass seemed to convey man’s dual experience on his way to death: from physical sufferings to deep resignation. He searched for the borderline in man’s life where his strength turns to weakness, love to hatred and happiness to suffering. Verdi’s Requiem is a dramatic expression of man’s infinite loneliness at the moment of death.
