Hector Berlioz: Grande Messe des Morts (Requiem) - Tuba mirum

Hector Berlioz
Last week, in the spirit of the penitential Season of Lent, we heard part of Mozart's "Dies Irae" from his Requiem Mass.  Today's post is a selection from Hector Berlioz's dramatic and moving musical treatment of this ancient hymn.  Let it be noted that Berlioz's "Dies Irae" is highly recommended by Fr. Stefan.
