Composed between 1887 and 1900, Fauré’s Requiem is a beautiful 35 minute choral and organ setting of the Mass for the Dead. In seven movements, this Requiem Mass setting is scored for Soprano and Baritone soloists and mixed choir. The final movement In Paradisum is based on a text that is part of the liturgy of the burial.

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