The Icelandic-born composer Jon Leifs (b.1899) was featured on Saturday's CD Review. He was a composer with a wide palette of musical styles, but an extract from his Requiem was played, and it struck me that it could almost have been written by Tavener or Part or another of today's minimalists. Has anyone sung it? Does anyone know anything about it? I found this on Youtube:
Does this constitute the whole piece (i.e. is it very short) or is this just an extract?
