"The devil does not stay where music is." ~ Martin Luther. Those of us who live in the Light of Hope know that , in Desmond Tutu's words, " Love is stronger that hatred; goodness is stronger than evil; light is stronger than darkness; LIFE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH." Though it seems that "TRUTH FOREVER ON THE SCAFFOLD, WRONG FOREVER ON THE THRONE,,". NEVER LOSE HEART--NEVER FORGET WE KNOW THE END OF THE STORY AND WHO TRIUMPHS!

This piece has a special meaning for me. We were in rehearsals for performing it in 2015 . My son died the day before the performance and my director included my son & I in his dedication. (I was told, I of course was not there). Today is the first time I've been able to listen to it again. Thank you Rivertree Singers. Thank you Dan Forrest .

I had the privilege of conducting this with my choir and another guest high school choir in 2014. We were one of the first high school groups to perform it, and we had the added privilege of having Dan Forrest join us for the weekend as our guest. Besides being such a great guy, Dan has produced what I think will be a lasting contribution to the repertoire of significant choral music. From my thorough study of the score, I can attest that there is a depth of musical finesse and craftsmanship not often seen today in this current atmosphere of music thrown together for cheap thrills and quick bucks. Thank you, Dan Forrest, for what will remain a highlight of my life.

This piece is all-important during these so troubled times! Ukraine - one of so many places of trouble, of unrest, of tragedy - for many families directly on site, as well as for so many fearing with them, while they fight for their freedom against the russian aggressors destroying their peaceful life and contesting their right to exist in peace. This Requiem is so important, allowing your soul to cry out in agony for peace, restfulness, as a result, finally viewing the Allmighty himself as the only giver of peace. The Requiem not only lets the singers cry out, ask for the eternal peace, but also lets them point out from whom this peace originates, who lets the eternal light shine and bring peace. The Lamb of God speaks out on our behalf, carries our worries and lets eternal peace spread out to all, who listen and adhere to His Word's orientation. The singers finally point out to what should be our reaction in return: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth are full of Thy Glory; Hosannah in the Highest! For me, personally, one of the most intense parts of this masterpiece is where the Tenor Solo proclaims the comforting message of Christ - found in Matthew 28:19: Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest! A truly comforting message in these troubled times! We are privileged and blessed to take this message out to our audience in Wetzlar, Germany on November 19th this year. It shall be one of my most intense experiences as a member of the Kantorei Wetzlar! Thank you Dan Forrest for this wonderful piece of music!

All the River tree videos have amazing sound recordings which pick out not only the vocal, but instrumental accompanists to perfection.

Magnificent ! Pieces like this Requiem raises hope the stronghold of real roots of Music is not destroyed.... Let the disconnected, absurd and cacophonic sounds of some pieces called "music" rest in eternal irrevocable peace.... Amen.

Having sung in choirs for many years, I can't believe I haven't heard this beautiful requiem before! Very moving and the choir and orchestra did their director proud - sung and played with great feeling and commitment. Thank you all very much.

What an interesting and worthwhile find this is. I've never heard of Dan Forrest before, but on the strength of this work, I'd say it is an important contribution to the genre of Requiems written from the 20th century onwards that aren't of the traditional variety, such as the War Requiem of Benjamin Britten and the Hymnus Paradisi of Herbert Howells. Quite sublime - and a superb performance.

It's a gorgeous piece of music but still doesn't come close to Brahms' Deutsche Requiem, Mozart's nor Faure's. I assume you are familiar with John Rutter's and Kit Arneson's and wonder where you would place them.

I’ve listened to this four times today. It is being performed in the Vero Beach, Florida Community Church this Good Friday eve. I don’t know if I can keep from openly weeping as I listen and watch my sister in the choir. I am so moved by your music. It’s more powerful and beautiful then anything I have ever heard before. Thank you Dan Forrest and this wonderful choir.

I was on the stage crew at the Rodeheaver Auditorium from 1960 through 1965 and stage manager the last two years; so this creates another level of emotion for me. I am sure you cherish the gift God has given you, Dan. The beauty of this is overwhelming.
