Felix Werder (1922-2012) was born in Berlin, arrived in Australia as a young refugee in 1940, and became one of the most prolific and uncompromising composers of his adopted country. In the seventies he formed the group Australia Felix to play his music, mixing wind instruments, harpsichord, percussion and electronics.
This Requiem for Manfred Triesch, with soprano Merlyn Quaife, is a self-released LP from 1979 in a tiny edition, with a hand-sprayed sleeve signed by Werder and an A4 insert. One of the rarest documents of Australian modernism.
