Why has Berlioz's Requiem has come to be understood as a product of nineteenth-century Romanticism and how can listeners understand it beyond that context? This book offers a fascinating exploration of the Requiem within the cultural context of French sacred music, the idea of the sacred sublime, and the ways in which sound and architecture correlate. It draws heavily on press materials, written correspondence, and archival materials as it presents the opportunity to hear a well-known work anew by moving beyond overly simplistic historiographical narratives.
