[Magdalen] Another Bereavement

[Jay Weigel]

Music has always been a great comfort to me in times of sorrow,and the
Brahms Requiem is the one I usually reach for. Yesterday afternoon,
however, I stumbled across this wonderful requiem by a composer I'm only
vaguely familiar with, and found it both comforting (I was missing my son)
and triumphant. Perhaps you will also find it so, Christopher--or anyone
else in need of comfort.
