Unverified Quotes - Musical Quotations of the Dies Irae plainchant melody

A table of compositions which, based on research, I think may contain the dies irae melody. However, I have been unable to confirm either by hearing a recording or reading the score.

Composer	Piece Title	Date Composed	Quote Quality	Comment	Link to audio
Zimmermann, Bernd Alois	1900 Jahre Koln	1950	Unverified	Several sources indicate, including Audra Versekenaite's article, and Thorsten Gubatz youtube channel. I'm not sure how these people managed to find a recording, I'm striking out. The Deutsches Rundfunkarchive has told me: "I regret to inform you that – according to our information – the radio play has not survived in the archives of the ARD – like so many sound recordings of the early fifties."

Valcarcel, Edgar	Hachaña Ma' Karabotasaq (Responso a un kara-botas) para soprano y orquesta (1973)	1973	Unverified	Clara Petrozzi wrote to me: "According to Edgar Valcarcel's own catalogue the work M'akarabotasaq Hachaña for soprano and orchestra was written in 1973 and first performed in the same year in Lima by soprano Margarita Ludeña and the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional of Peru, its duration is of 22 minutes. Originally it was for soprano, two narrators and orchestra according to the article that appeared in 1971 when it was still in process of composition in the series of Composers of the Americas, vol 17, 113-120 by Smith, Carelton Sprague and M. Romro; and it uses a poem by Alberto Valcárcel, his cousin. The name of the work means Requiem for a Karabotas. The Karabotas is a male figure of the region of Puno, like a cowboy, he uses boots and rides horses. Since it is a Requiem it feels natural that he quotes the Dies irae, he used to quote and mix fragments and composers from many traditions with his own material, that was one of his main ways of working."

Pierres, Thor	Litany for the Day of Human Rights	1963	Unverified	Mentioned (disparagingly) in Boyd's article. Can't find much about Pierres. There was a Thor Pierres who acted in a handful of British television productions in the mid-60s (the Fable is pretty good). And a Thor Pierres is mentioned in Inglis Gundry's autobiography The Last Boy of the Family, as an opera producer in the mid 1960s. Mentioned in English theater teachers' (but operating in Australia) Roy Maxwell and Constance Vayne's autobiography as being a voice teacher in London in the mid 1960s. This is a setting to music of Salvador de Madariaga's 1962 'A Litany for the Day of Human Rights', set to music for the occasion of the 1963 Day of Human Rights, first performed Dec 10 1963 at St Bride's in London, at the same event that Du Pre played cello. According to this (https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/nws210071963en.pdf) Thor Pierre is "a composer whose life is an embodiment of the united world. His father is a Danish diplomat and his mother a girl from Liberia." And according to this (https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/nws210141964en.pdf) it's "primarily designed for two voices, preferably baritone and contralto, the Litany can be sung as a solo or even chorally" For those who grasp their prison bars helplessly, that we may walk free - a thought. For those who rot in the dark so that we may walk " in the sun - a thought. For those whose ribs have been broken so that we may breathe our fill - a thought. For those whose back has been broken so that we may walk erect - a thought. For those whose faces have been slapped so that we may walk in fear of no hand - a thought. For those whose pride lies in rags on the slabs of their jails so that we may proudly walk - a thought. For those whose wives live in anguish so that our wives may live happy - a thought. For those whose country is in chains so that our country may be free - a thought. And for their jailers and their torturers - a thought The saddest of all, they are the most maimed, and the Day of reckoning is bound to come

Ferrata, Giuseppe	Sequentia Dies Irae	1908	Unverified	This choral work won the 1908 composition competition choral division sponsored by the Art Society of Pittsburgh (judged by Arthur Foote, Ferrata's other works also won in two other categories). It was played in concert on June 5 1908 at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Hall, it was last on the bill performed by a chorus assembled from members of the TUesday Musical Club Chorale and the Pittsburgh Male Chorus, directed by James Stephen Martin. It's not in Tulane University's Ferrata archives (https://archives.tulane.edu/repositories/3/resources/1001); it's possible that Katrina wiped it out. Edward Eames doesn't know; if he doesn't I'm not sure anybody does.

Deane, Raymond	Stretti	2001	Unverified	From the composer's notes: "I began work on this 25’ composition – a kind of Concertino for recorder(s) and ensemble – in Céret (French Catalonia) in May 2001 and finished it in Dublin the following November. It is written for 8 musicians, is in 8 sections, and is built on 8 transpositions of an 8-note scale. Originally it was to be a kind of “divertimento” after the rigours of the works that preceded it (“Inter Pares” and “Passage-Work”), but the events of 11 September and the ensuing onslaught on Afghanistan shaped the final section, which is now a kind of elegy interspersed with violent episodes, and quoting the mediaeval “Dies irae” chant minus its famous opening phrase. Only the first, fifth and final sections use the entire ensemble, and the solo recorder is absent only from the seventh; even there it enters in the final bar, linking it without a break to the eighth. I have used the sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, bass and great bass recorders; section II, written for the latter rarity, also provides a version for bass. The work demands some virtuosity from all performers, not just the soloist!"
Ching, Jeffrey	Symphony #3 "Rituals"	1998	Unverified	Complicated orchestral work with 3 different ensembles, representing Malay, Chinese, and Spanish influences. The Spanish ensemble opens with the Dies Irae plainchant in off-stage horns. Peters wants 100 euro for perusal score, I'm not willing.

Fickenscher, Arthur	Variations on theme Dies Irae for small orchestra	1925 or earlier	Unverified	Mentioned in a UVA University Bibliography from 1925. Dedicated to Georges Barrere, the NYTimes mentions it was premiered April 1933 at the third and final concert celebrating Barrere's 30 years in America (and panned by the times critic).But this work isn't found in UVA's Fickenscher papers (or at least, not cataloged yet). I'm hoping, if this is not the same piece as Day Of Judgment, that it's what the UVA library lists as 1937's "Variation Fantasy/Variations on a Medieval Theme". I managed to read the score for the Variation Fantasy, dies irae is not contained there. I suspect this work is lost.
