Symphony Magazine review of Requiem

[REVIEW] "Davids, a composer of Mohican heritage, has constructed a patchwork of first-hand sources: rare accounts from the survivors of massacres. It’s meant to be shocking, and it is. A lot was packed into 90 minutes by: the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, an eight-strong Native American choir, four vocal soloists, and the Native American flute. After so many atrocities recounted, comes a chorus affirming the Indigenous people’s endurance: we are still here. Here it’s the Native American choir’s music that triumphs. It’s a gentle, hopeful end to a heavy, urgent, necessary work.” ► LINK ► https://symphony.org/review-brent-michael-davids-requiem-for-america-gets-world-premiere-in-london/
