Popper Requiem – 3 Cellos & String Orchestra

David Popper – Requiem for Three Cellos and String Orchestra (String Orchestra Version)

This edition of Requiem by David Popper is a newly engraved, clean and carefully formatted set of performance materials, fully faithful to the original musical text. The notation has been completely reset for clarity and practical use in rehearsal and performance.

In this string orchestra version, the original wind parts have been thoughtfully transferred to a solo string quartet within the ensemble. Nothing is lost musically — the full substance of the work is preserved — and the arrangement has proven to work excellently in practice. This makes the piece performable even when a full symphony orchestra is not available.

Scored for three solo cellos and string orchestra with solo string quartet, it is especially suitable for academies, festivals, and advanced string ensembles.
