One of the most famous requiems along with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s,

Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem has an interesting history. When Gioacchino Rossini died in 1868, Verdi suggested that Italian composers collaborate to write a Requiem to honour him. Verdi wrote the final part, Libera me… but sadly, the performance never happened. Five years later, when Italian writer Alessandro Manzoni died, Verdi decided to recycle his Libera me and composed the Requiem in memory of this artist he had admired all his adult life.
