    "description": "<p>Few western musical repertories speak more to the imagination than the Requiem mass for the dead. Yet, surprisingly, despite the significance of Requiem settings for our musical culture, the literature concerning them is sparse. <em>The Book of Requiems</em> presents essays on the most important works in this tradition, from the origins of the genre up to the present day. Each chapter is devoted to a specific Requiem, and offers both historical information and a detailed work-discussion. Conceived as a multi-volume essay collection by leading experts, <em>The Book of Requiems</em> is an authoritative reference publication intended as a first port of call for musicologists, music theorists, and performers both professional and student. The present volume, the second in the series, treats settings composed between c. 1550 and c. 1650, a period in which the Requiem becomes a defining feature of the soundscape of Catholic death rituals.</p>\n<p><strong>David J. Burn</strong> is professor of musicology and head of the Early Music Research Group at the University of Leuven. <br /><strong>Antonio Chemotti</strong> is assistant professor of musicology at the University of Leuven in association with the Alamire Foundation and research affiliate at the Royal Library of Belgium.</p>",
