It wasn't until the late 20th century that the discovery of his manuscripts in the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris revealed that he was also a composer of large works for choir and orchestra. One such discovery was Reichas's Missa pro defunctis - Requiem, written in Vienna, where Reicha lived from 1802 to 1808 before settling down in Paris.
The piece displays the characteristic marks of Reicha's compositional style: chromaticism, a rich modulation scheme, colourful instrumentation and a sensitive musical expression of the meaning of the Latin text. Antonín Reicha's Requiem provides a new perspective on the composer's work.
