Requiem

1893 chamber version

Fauré’s Requiem has a long history with Cantores in Ecclesia. In 1998, Cantores recorded the work with the Portland Youth Philharmonic. The choir has also sung the work countless times over the years within a liturgical setting, including for funeral Masses, for annual Requiem Masses on All Souls’ Day and Memorial Day, and even in Paris at the Church of the Madeleine, where the 1893 chamber version was first heard. The upcoming November 8 performance will be the first time Cantores in Ecclesia will perform Fauré’s Requiem in concert.

The performance will be dedicated to the memory of Cantores’ friends and supporters who have passed away during the choir’s nearly 45-year history.
