Verdi wrote his Requiem in memory of Alessandro Manzoni, an Italian poet and novelist. Although originally composed for liturgical purposes, in modern days it is rarely performed in liturgy, but rather in concert form of around 85-90 minutes in length. This requiem has 7 sections with several sub-sections. Verdi uses vigorous rhythms and dramatic contrasts - like his operas - to express the powerful emotions engendered by the text.
