Dies irae
Utilizado por el Coro de la ciudad de Oxford en su montaje llamado Requiem Portuges donde usaron piezas de diversos compositores de Portugal del XVI y XVII.
The City of Oxford Choir gave a thoughtful performance of works by composers of the 16th and 17th centuries with the title A Portuguese Requiem. The truly remarkable feature of the performance was Leech's treatment of Diogo Dias Melgas's "Dies irae". Always a sobering experience, it became thoroughly intimidating as the double choir filed down to stand on either side of its cowering audience, singing antiphonally in strong block chords to thundering organ accompaniment.
