About this arrangement

Solo voices, Choir and concert band - Grade 5 SKU: BF.BM1249-SCORE Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Bruno Peterschmitt. Baton Music vocal series. Full score. Baton Music #BM1249-SCORE. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM1249-SCORE). French composer Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) composed his 'Requiem in D minor', Op. 48, between 1887 and 1890. It became the best-known compositions of his large works. In seven movements, the work is scored for soprano and baritone soloists, mixed choir, orchestra and organ. Different from typical Requiem settings, the full sequence 'Dies irae' is omitted, replaced by its section 'Pie Jesu'. The final movement 'In Paradisum' is based on a text that is not part of the liturgy of the funeral Mass but of the burial. French arranger Bruno Peterschmitt transcribed Fauré’s 'Requiem' for Soprano, Baritone, Choir and Symphonic Band.
