Join us for this special opportunity to sing Gabrielle Fauré’s beautiful Requiem Mass, in its liturgical context ~ and remember those we love and see no longer.

Composed between 1887 and 1900, Fauré’s Requiem is a beautiful 35 minute choral and organ setting of the Mass for the Dead. Our Come & Sing for the feast of All Soul’s is led by conductor and historian, Anthony Musson – former Director of Chapel Music at the University of Exeter – with organist Matt Clark and guest soloists.

Singers of all voice parts (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) are warmly invited to Come & Sing for this service. Music and refreshments will be provided for all participants, with mulled wine after the service.

Timings on the day:
3.00pm - Rehearsals led by Anthony Musson with refreshments
5.40pm – Break for robing and walk through
6.00pm – All Soul’s Requiem Mass, with Mtr Tanya Hockley-Still, followed by mulled wine

Movements
i.    Introit et Kyrie
ii.   Offertory
iii.   Sanctus
iv.   Pie Jesu
v.    Agnus Dei
vi.   Libera Me
vii.  In Paradisum

In seven movements, Fauré’s Requiem is scored for Soprano and Baritone soloists and mixed choir.
The final movement In Paradisum is based on a text that is not part of the liturgy of the funeral mass, but of the burial.

Please email Anthony Musson at mountdinhaminfo@gmail.com if you would like to sing for this service, or for more information.
