Do you know of any #choral works for a #melancholy heart like mine? Something like the German Requiem by Brahms or Vespers (All Night Vigil) by Rachmaninov? Something to instill some spirituality in my hardened little atheist heart? I didn’t find Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis but it didn’t touch me. Should I give it another try? Something else? #classic #music #help

Some of the names I was given led me to this wiki I had never heard of: ChoralWiki, home of the Choral Public Domain Library! “Here you will find free choral/vocal scores, texts, translations, and other useful information.” I love that these things exist.

As for myself, I’m listening to Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem.
