Read a review by Catherine Reese Newton on The Salt Lake Tribune
Excerpt:
“Wilberg’s Requiem, which the 360-voice choir premiered last year as part of the Salt Lake Tabernacle rededication celebration, is as gentle and life-affirming as one would expect from him. As musical settings of the Roman Catholic funeral Mass go, it belongs to the Fauré/Brahms family, as opposed to the Berlioz/Verdi. The structure recalls Brahms, the musical language recalls Vaughan Williams, but Wilberg’s voice comes through clearly in this most engaging work. Of particular note is “O Nata Lux,” one of the loveliest pieces Wilberg has ever written . . . ”
