In 1961, the 59-year-old Maurice Duruflé put the finishing touches to the third and last version of his Requiem, composed 14 years previously. The work is wholly, one might say consubstantially, built on the Gregorian melodies of the Mass of the Dead. The composer had already transcribed some of these themes for the organ: hence this entire programme underlines the artistic and spiritual coherence of Duruflé’s approach.
