Future directions

Requiem, where can I go with you...

As we all know, a bachelor thesis aiming for such length and depth cannot meet professional fineness, yet given its personal and universal meaning, I do not wish the thesis concert to be its final or only performance (excluding the performance service on my own funeral or memorial, which is also in my plan). It is in my plan to revise and publish it one day.

If you are a choral director or publisher interested in performing or publishing the requiem, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I would be more than glad to talk about it and discussion editing and/or possible arrangement.
