Our Autumn concert explores the rich heritage of French sacred music. At the heart of the programme is Gabriel Fauré's much-loved Requiem. We are excited to present it using the arrangement of the accompaniment for organ, violin, cello and harp made by David Hill with which he has sought to recreate the composer's original intimate conception of the piece.

 

The Requiem will be complemented by contrasting a cappella works: Messiaen's O sacrum convivium, Poulenc's Salve Regina, the Four Motets on Gregorian Themes by Maurice Duruflé,  Attende Domine by Pierre Villette, and a pair of motets for women's voices by Fauré's pupil Nadia Boulanger and her sister Lili. We will also sing Eric Whitacre’s Sainte Chapelle which may not be strictly French but does celebrate an historic Parisian royal chapel!
