composition

Lacrimosa : for two bassoons, 1991 / Louis Andriessen

Description:
Program note (English): Lacrimosa is based on the melody of the 18th verse of the 'Dies Irae', a part of the requiem mass. This cantus firmus is embedded in very small, seufzer-like intervals. Towards the end the melody's conclusion appears in its original form. - LOUIS ANDRIESSEN
