This new edition of Gabriel Fauré's Requiem presents the work in a chamber edition for the first time. Edited and arranged by David Hill for Violin Cello Harp and Organ this score is compatible with the Novello vocal score of the same work and all other major editions. It aims to convey the original chamber-music qualities of Fauré's original scoring and will enhance performances with keyboard reductions at minimal cost. It will be of great use to chamber and church choirs without the budget or space to perform this understated masterpiece with full orchestra yet who wish to convey the rich colours and textures ofFauré's most famous work. Gabriel Faure: Requiem is scored for Violin Cello Harp Organ and SATB voices (for SATB separate parts not included). In order to perform the work choir members would require NOV072304. 'Here is a visionary publication that will solve many problems. Most important this edition will work with existing versions even down to rehearsal marks.' - Andrew Fletcher Organists' Review

For SATB choir with Piano accompaniment.'In 2000 the poet Tony Harrison to cheer me up during a troubled period of my life sent me a copy of Goethe?s poem. I began to sketch music for it then and finished it in 2003. It is set for mixed chorus and strings. A winding forlorn cello figure like a lost soul leads to a softer tender violin theme that evokes the healing power of music to the troubled spirit. The hushed chorus enters a cappella and the forlorn cello figure is developed as they describe the illusory nature of the ?splendid? world. The ?healing? theme returns now elaborated by the sopranos and the whole chorus joins them building a sustainedmessage of hope and thanks for the regenerative power of music and love.This short piece is fondly dedicated to my friends Jane and David Fanshawe. It was commissioned by the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus and first performed by them in Poole on 17 April 2004.'????????????????????????????????- Richard Blackford
