Sigurd Islandsmoen's Requiem for soloists, choir and orchestra is a unique
flower in the Norwegian music flora. Throughout the 1940s and 50s the work
enjoyed huge success both in Norway and abroad thanks to its beautiful and
accessible Latin and folk music based musical language. And then, mysteriously,
the music disappeared and the work was buried in the dust of oblivion for
several decades. But now it has been revived and restored to its former glory, a
source of inspiration to future generations.
