Requiem, Op.48 (Final version, 1900)

Description

This is an unabridged digitally-enhanced reprint of the vocal score that was prepared by the composer with help from his student Jean Roger-Ducasse and published by J. Hamelle & Cie. in 1900. Measure numbers have been added along with a table of contents and instrumentation. The large format (A4) is extremely easy to read for singers, choruses and pianists. This is Faure’s final version the Requiem, premiered on July 12, 1900 at the Trocadero in Paris. The accompaniment was expanded to full symphony orchestra from the original version for organ and chamber ensemble. It is the version that is by far the most widely performed and recorded; and performed at the composer’s funeral in 1924.
