Felix Mendelssohn's "Elijah" is an oratorio based on the Biblical stories about the prophet Elijah from the Old Testament books of Kings I & II. Completed in 1846, "Elijah" is Mendelssohn's most popular composition and one of the few 19th-century oratorios still performed today. The Tampa Oratorio Singers performed "Elijah" with orchestral accompaniment and professional soloists.
Duruflé's "Requiem" uses Gregorian chant to fashion the melodies of his most famous work. This concert also features masterworks of Fauré and Vierne, with orchestra.

The Tampa Oratorio Singers performed the Lord Nelson Mass, Haydn’s largest mass and most beloved choral/orchestral work. The performance was accompanied by a chamber orchestra.
Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem was his choral masterpiece and one of the most enduring Requiems ever written. This was Verdi's largest non-operatic work and it was originally written as a memorial to poet, playwright, and novelist Alessandro Manzoni. It was performed by the Tampa Oratorio Singers and our soloists with accompaniment by members of the Florida Orchestra.
