Requiem / Messe basse / Cantique de Jean Racine / Ave Maria

Album by Gabriel Fauré & Schola Cantorum of the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School & Belgravia Chamber Orchestra & Iestyn Evans & Jack Comerford & Scott Price

The release is a collection of choral works by Gabriel Fauré, composed between 1865 and 1900. They are written in a French Romantic choral style that favours restrained dynamics, modal and chromatic harmonies, subtle orchestral colours and concise vocal lines, and they occupy an important place in Fauré's output as he moved towards gentler textures and a focus on consolation rather than dramatic liturgical rhetoric.
