Verdi's highly charged Requiem was forthright and hard-hitting in its expression of grief, faith and judgment. So much so, that many thought it too dramatic for performance in church. Stravinsky's setting of Requiem verses couldn't be more different to Verdi's, however. His Requiem Canticles focused on ritual rather than expression, on calm detachment rather than overwhelming grief.
