Requiem Survey, a website established in 2003 by
Reformed Christian rector,[1][2] literary scholar[3]: 8 and author[4][5] Kees van der Vloed (born 9 June 1960 in the Netherlands),[6] endeavors to categorize all composers and works relating to the Mass for the dead. As of 2023 the repository includes 3,545 composers and 5,701 works. The specialized encyclopedia also lists Vloed's personal music library, which is "focused on work directly related to the Latin text and its implementation excluding evocative work, but as promiscuous as Henze’s Requiem (a cycle of nine sacred concerts), Hindemith (on texts by Whitman) and Weinberg (on texts by various poets, e.g., Lorca and Fukagawa)."[7]
The alphabetical survey itself recognizes
Brahms of the Romantic era, to 20th and 21st century figures such as Benjamin Britten, David Woodard and Gavin Bryars
