Requiem - Gabriel Fauré

In the organizer's words:

Fall concert

Requiem Gabriel Fauré

Works by Henry Purcell, Willibald Gluck, Anton Bruckner and Arvo Pärt

He wanted to do something different and leave the beaten track: Gabriel Fauré's Requiem departs from traditional masses for the dead. The work alternates between different keys and creates the image of a conciliatory death, a gentle slumber into unknown bliss. Incidentally, Fauré did not write his Requiem for anyone in particular - but simply "because he felt like it".

On November 23, 2024, the Munich Brahms Choir will sing the work in St. Johann Baptist Haidhausen, accompanied by the Seraphin Ensemble Munich under the direction of conductor Andreas Schlegel. Yuna Maria Schmidt and Timon Führ will take on the solo parts.

The concert will be rounded off by an early work by Fauré (Cantique), Henry Purcell's Funeral Music of Queen Mary and works by Christoph Willibald Gluck, Anton Bruckner and Arvo Pärt.
