Considered by some as Verdi's finest composition, this highly dramatic work combines original melodies with liturgical strains in a tour de force of melodic invention, absolute technical mastery, and virtuoso orchestration. This enduringly popular work is scored for four solo voices — soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, and bass — chorus, and orchestra. Reproduced from the authoritative C. F. Peters edition.
