Holy Week Faure Requiem Concert

Hello everyone,

I want to invite you to a concert that the St. Therese Choir is presenting on Wednesday of Holy Week, March 19th, at 7 O'clock in the evening.

Faure's Requiem was first written and performed in 1888 for the church choir & chamber orchestra. The original intent was a small intimate setting. The orchestra is a little unusual, with no upper string except a solo vioin.

The piece is light & airy. It has simple elegance, haunting beauty. Not full of anguish & despair, like many other settings of Requiem one might have heard.

Throughout the piece Faure expresses a quiet confident of afterlife in heaven. The Requiem is very peaceful & meditative. And it would be a holy way to lead us into Easter Triduum.
