This year is the 70th anniversary of the Duruflé Requiem, and an article in the Boston Globe tells a bit of the work’s  and the composer’s history.

For those in the area, there will be an opportunity to hear the work Friday, March 9, when the Choir of St. Paul’s sings the Requiem at St. Paul Church in Cambridge:
