Book Reviews of Requiem in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores)
Book Review: the best requiem i've ever had the pleasure to be a part of
Summary: 5 Stars
Faure's Requiem gives expression to the unintelligible and delivers a sanctimonious aura to all who listen. His perception of death through the 1st , 2nd, and 5th movements are masterpieces of the human psyche itself. His other movements, notwithstanding, are also monuments to God and His divine presence in all of us. There are few times when unspeakable grief and joy can be written and sung as they are in Faure's Requiem. To truly appreciate this work , one must sing it, and effectively empathise in the baritone and soprano soli. The baritone solo in the 5th movement, Libera Me, expresses tribulations and fears to make any man tremble. To finish his requiem, faure writes a beautifully serene and touching peace.The 6th movement-In Paradisium is a fitting end to the work. It uplifts your spirits to the peaceful arms of heaven as mentioned by the title, in paradise. Faure's Requiem is one of the best representations of his work.
Summary of Requiem in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores)
French composer's perennially popular masterpiece, composed in memory of his father and first performed at La Madeleine in 1888. The work is notable for its clarity, balance, serenity, and ethereal beauty, achieved with the strictest economy of means. Reprinted from authoritative French edition. Translation of text.
The requiem--the Roman Catholic mass for the dead--is one of those texts that has appealed to countless composers. You want bombast? You got bombast. You want serenely-secure-in-the-faith-of-life-everlasting? You got it. But if you hunger for a quietly comforting taste of the heavenly and ethereal, look no further than Gabriel Fauré's luminous, shimmering setting of the requiem. The Fauré Requiem, when well performed, offers calming succor to those who suffer the vicissitudes of grief. The soprano solo "Pie Jesu" is an exquisite prayer that can hardly fail to move the listener. To see how Fauré achieved his understated but uplifting effects, go through this complete Dover score. Like most Dover editions, this one is a reprint of another publisher's out-of-copyright work, and may contain some out-of-date scholarship. But it is a superb resource for the musician, professional, amateur, or listener.
