Faure 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.
Faure'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. As a
result the mood of the Requiem is relatively calm and peaceful and
often referred to as a lullaby of death. Faure's unconventional
composition has become a firm favourite in the repertoire and
available here is the vocal score, for soloists and SATB choir with
piano accompaniment, as edited by Desmond Ratcliffe.

Cantique de Jean Racine was written in 1865 during Faure's final
year at the Ecole Niedermeyer, winning him the first prize for
composition, and this elegant work now holds a cherished place in
the choral repertory for both sacred and secular occasions.
Presented with an English singing translation in addition to the
original French, John Rutter's edition includes an accompaniment
for organ or piano, and the work may also be performed with the
transcription for harp and strings (available separately),
compatible with the instrumentation for the OUP edition of the
Faure Requiem in its 1893 version. Complete orchestral and vocal
material is available on hire/rental and on sale. In addition, an
arrangement for upper voices (SSAA) with Faure's original keyboard
accompaniment is available on sale.
