The ' Messe de Requiem? is probably the internationally best-known and most frequently performed work by Gabriel Fauré . The composer's first version was limited to just five movements and small-scale forces with low strings, harp and organ. The work was then expanded several times culminating in the version for large orchestra of 1900. This orchestral version forms the basis of this edition.Despite its comparatively long period of gestation, the Requiem forms a stylistic unity. Unlike other requiem settings, the composer foregoes any theatrical gestures in this work. A restrained dynamic range together with graceful melodic writing for both soloists and choir give the work a gentle and optimistic character.The choral score just as the vocal score are based on the volume of the Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré (BA 9461) published in 2010. It is important to note that this choral score is also compatible with the first small-scale version as well as the second chamber orchestra version.- High-quality Urtext edition based on the 'Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré?- First systematic evaluation of all sources- Based on the large orchestral version of 1900- Choral score suitable for all versions of the Requiem / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Par FAURE GABRIEL. Being such a prolific composer, particularly for Vocal and Piano works, Gabriel Faure 's music is always addressed with high expectations. His Les Djinns for SATB choir and Piano is no exception. Faure (1845-1924) began receiving high quality musical instruction from age 10 at the Niedermeyer School. He eventually became a piano pupil of Camille Saint-Saë ns. Faure 's career saw him succeed Theodore Dubois as organist at the Church of Madeleine in Paris and become professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire, all the while composing sublime works. Les Djinns waswritten towards the beginning of the composer's career and is based on the poem of the same name by Victor Hugo. The poem depicts the sounds of the night. Each stanza becomes gradually longer as the text climaxes, and shortens again with the anticlimax, creating an arch form. Faure mimics this in his music through use of structure, dynamics and the texture of the Piano accompaniment. With Faure 's music remaining hugely popular to this day, Les Djinns is a favourite for the choral repertoire./ Répertoire / Choeur à 4 Voix et Piano

Cantus Missae. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. According to Otto Ursprung, Cantus missae is the “most beautiful, pure vocal music of the 19th century”. This is Rheinberger’s only Mass written for double choir. It obtains its special character through the use of compositional techniques of ancient classical vocal polyphony, which are combined with functional harmony and expressive, songlike voice-leading. Rheinberger was honored for this Mass with the Gregorius Medal in 1879 by Pope Leo XIII. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur SATB/SATB
