The Music
The music for the global tribute will include three pieces: excerpts from Mozart's Requiem and the complete music of his Ave Verum Corpus, which are memorials, as well as, Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth, which is an anthem of hope, rebirth and joy.
The solo parts will be excluded from both Mozart's Requiem and Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
These pieces echo and build on the music of the first Rolling Requiem, allowing the tribute to voice both a memorial for those swept away and hope for the future of those who are rebuilding their lives.

Mozart's Requiem - Barenreiter Edition
Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus - Broude Brothers Edition
