Charles Gounod composed this Requiem under the impact of the death of his four-year-old grandson, Maurice. According to information handed down, while finishing the details of this work he was overtaken by death. It was published posthumously in various constellations by his pupil, Henri Busser, but the only complete version from the pen of Gounod is the version for large orchestra, which is published here for the first time in a critical edition. Gounod's Requiem, unlike many contemporary settings of the Mass of the Dead, is not characterized by darkness and terror. Rather, with all of its trepidation - expressed through a marked chromaticism - an atmosphere of hopeful expectation, of trust in the grace and equity of the divine judge predominates. This confidence finds its expression in the choice of the fundamental key of C major, which is rather unusual for a requiem. The work was given an impressive performance on the occasion of the first anniversary of Gounod's death in the Parisian church of Sainte-Madeleine under the direction of Gabriel Fauré and it was highly acclaimed by the contemporary press. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2731500.

Having the sound of an epic movie soundtrack, Fable was inspired by Aesop's Fables and Grimm's Fairy Tales. Broad, memorable themes jump off the page along with an energetic and highly rhythmic pulse that drives the work forward. The music maintains a veil of darkness and intrigue that will capture the imagination of the listener from start to finish.

Erebus was an ancient demigod, most often represented as Night, the son of Chaos. Here, Mr. Bishop composed a work representing the attributes ascribed to Erebus: pensive anticipation, sullen darkness, driving passion. He features the ever-popular tritone to help create the sense of unease and with other dissonance, offers students an amazing opportunity to create an ensemble sound like no other.
