Description


Faure was not drawn to compose a Requiem because of the death of a loved one, even though his mother had died during the early stages of composition and his father had passed away two years before. Faure’s composition does not set his Reuiem to the standard liturgical text, instead adding a lyrical Pie Jesu and transcendent Paradisum, and omitting the Dies Irae and Tuba Mirum - which, for most composers, are opportunities to demonstrate the dramatic possibilities available with the choral and orchestral forces. As a result the mood of the Requiem is relatively calm and peaceful and often referred to as a lullaby of death.

Faure’s unconventional composition has become a firm favourite in the repertoire and available here is the vocal score, for Soloists and SATB Choir with Piano Accompaniment, as edited by Desmond Ratcliffe.

Rating Review

Customer Rating Je vais chanter le Requiem de Fauré cet été et il nous a été précisé que la partition de travail serait celle éditée par Carlus Verlag. J'ai commander la partition chez Musicroom(Ed. Novello, réduction piano pour Choeur et solistes) en raison du prix et de l'impossibilité d'acheter en France la version équivalente de Carlus Verlag (vente interdite vers la France). A prix similaire, je n'ai pas constaté de différence avec la partition Carlus Verlag. Délai de livraison respecté et suivi de la commande sans surprise. Très bon accueil téléphonique. Disponibilité et sérieux.

Customer Rating A very good Requiem with one of my favorite tunes, the Libera Me. A stunning piece of music.
Ben Ferguson


Customer Rating An eminently singable if unconventional piece. My favourite Requiem, it lacks a Dies Irae and concentrates more on the love of God than on Hell and damnation. That said, the Offertorium with its plea to God not throw us down into hell is a powerful movement.
