I wrote a quasi-academic paper about the composer Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninov) and how he used the Dies Irae theme quite prolifically.

You can download it here (7MB pdf file)

I also created a companion CD with sound clips for all the examples in the paper. I can snailmail that to you if you're interested.

I welcome all feedback! Please send all comments to:
