While we're on the subject of great 20th century choral works, I have
recently become very enamored of Hindemith's Requiem (based on the text of
Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed").  It's rare that I
hear anyone else mention this piece outside of a music appreciation book;
it was merely by chance that I discovered it myself.  Is there anyone else
out there who shares my high opinion of this work, or perhaps would care to
dissent? We could start a new thread if enough people have an opinion one
way or the other.
