Requiem, Op. 48 (final version, 1900): Mass, Orchestra Accompaniment, Oversized Score

Gabriel Fauré "Requiem" is the best known of the composer's large works. Seemingly not written for the death of any particular person, he wrote of the work, "Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest." Though first written in 1887-88, this final version for full orchestra was completed in 1900, and it is this version that was performed at Fauré's own funeral in 1924. Instrumentation: Soli Sop. and Bar: Mixed Choir: 2.0.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp: Hp.Org: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). 11x14 oversized score.
