Gentle readers,

You all emailed or posted lots of recommendations for requiems, thank you!
Here is a ~100-line summary listing of what you sent.  I've excluded the ones
I have already (this is really a shopping/Christmas list); the works aster-
isked either were VERY strongly recommended by several people or are of fa-
vorite composers of mine (i.e., Christmas 1992 list ;o)).  A quick list of
the requiems not on the list (many of which were strongly recommended):
Verdi, Victoria, Durufle, Faure, Mozart, Brahms, Lassus (a 5).  Also men-
tioned was Andrew Lloyd-Weber.

If anyone can fill in any of the blanks, please email, and I can repost a
fully filled-out table if there's interest.
