"<br />Fauré 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. <br />Fauré's composition does not set his Requiem 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. <br />As a result, the mood of the Requiem is relatively calm and peaceful and often referred to as a lullaby of death.<br />Fauré's unconventional composition has become a firm favourite in the repertoire and available here is the vocal score, for soloists and SSA choir with piano accompaniment, as edited by Desmond Ratcliffe.<br /><br />Minimum delivery time 2 to 3 weeks.<br /><br /><br />"
