Description:  "An American Requiem is a monumental work of choral music by the composer James DeMars. Following the 1992 Los Angeles riots subsequent to the Rodney King trial, Dr. James DeMars, a professor of Music Composition at Arizona State University, was commissioned by the Art Renaissance Foundation to write a large memorial work that would contribute to bringing the American community together. The 75-minute choral work, entitled An American Requiem, took a full year to be written and orchestrated. The Foundation dedicated the Requiem to 'all Americans who dedicated their lives to building this great nation.' Conductor Ryan Murray preludes each event with a short talk about the music and the special magic called choral singing.”
