Programme Note
Join us for a Remembrance-tide concert sung by the entire Cathedral choir - boys, girls and men – conducted by David Halls.
Fauré wrote of the work, "Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest."
The piece premiered in its first version in 1888 in La Madeleine in Paris.
