Real Audio - Dies Irae
In one of his non-operatic (yet no less dramatic) works, his Requiem—written for the great Italian writer and patriot Alessandro Mazzoni—we can hear Verdi using the chorus and soloists to their full dramatic power. The Dies Irae ("Day of Wrath") depicts the day of final judgment.
