  • Singer/songwriter Eliza Gilkyson wrote Requiem as a song of grief following the Asian tsunami in December 2004, and the song found a renewed audience after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region. It is now widely performed as a prayer for disaster victims worldwide. The Seattle Choral Company dedicates their first virtual choir recording to the victims of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

    I sang this piece with the chorus at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp a few years ago. This rendition is beautiful. ❤️

    So beautiful I would not be able to keep my composer to sing aloud.

    Wonderful version! A bit more up-tempo from most other versions I have heard. I performed this song several years ago with my choir in a concert and the audience was very moved, as was the choir.

      @@gailwjcan agree. Performed this recently for me collegiate choir, and I’d have to say that slowing it down a bit from what we see here helps make it a more emotional peace

      Such a beautiful song, it really touched my heart after the loss of a fellow Respiratory Therapist passed away from Covid 19.
