Requiem

Album by Gabriel Fauré & Sandrine Piau & Stéphane Degout & Orchestre national de France & Accentus & Laurence Equilbey

Requiem is a choral composition by French composer Gabriel Fauré, composed between 1887 and 1890. The work is characterised by restrained, lyrical melodies, an emphasis on consolation rather than dramatic intensity, and a chamber-like scoring for choir, soloists, orchestra and organ, placing it as a distinctive, intimate statement within Fauré's late-Romantic output and the broader tradition of 19th-century requiem settings.
First released: 14th October 2008
