On Satuday 16 February, an interview on The Music Show with Holcombe Waller, whose Requiem Mass: A Queer Divine Rite is about to be performed at Sydney’s Mardi Gras this month. It’s a “mash-up of Latin text, poetry, pop, classical and theatre” and written especially for the “peaceful repose of the souls of the dead” with particular reference to the LGBTQI community. The work has played to packed cathedrals and concert halls and includes professional and amateur singers many of whom are LGBTI and utterly moved by having a “gay” religious work.
