Fauré Requiem Agnus Dei

[Choristenimes]

C'est beau mais je préfère les voix d'enfants pour cette pièce. Allez écouter la "Maîtrise de Nîmes" pour cet "agnus dei" ou le "cantique de jean Racine".

Un pouce vert !

[TrumpetImani]

Its cool my high school choir at DSA is singing this...

[nelriko]

SUBLIME .



[alleycatsrock]

I played 5 of the 7 movements of this piece in my orchestra. I absolutely love this movement. It's my favorite as well as the last.

[TrumpetImani]

@alleycatsrock It is not the last.........

[rurun]

heavenly

[thesinger126]

I sng this about sic years ago and I hope to sing it again , without crying. One of my favorites.

[99991000francisco]

la obra mas bonita de todas las que he cantado con el coro donde estoy desde el año 1998 junto al oratorio de noe fue una satisfascion enormey un honor para mi

[SheekySheekyFatboi]

2:10 makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Incredible.

[Thayer1964]

Nice, but tempo is a little faster than I used to play it, I always compare it to eating slowly and enjoying your food, same with music, Requiem beauty the same. Play slower and enjoy the beautiful harmony that Faure gave to us.

[ktmad]

2:46 onwards is amazing, and love the cadence at 3:07 and the forte that follows! ITS SOO emotional, I just love it, love the guy.. i want to meet him, amazing french late 1800s guy, i remember singing this with the school

[sailorletterman]

requiem is the whole piece- agnus dei is one of the movements, and my personal favourite. then comes libera me which is fantastic

[Zanite]

Is the Requiem the middle section? I've not played it.

[moltoallegro19]

@Zanite No, but the Agnus Dei makes a little reprise of the first movement (around 3:27).

[mikolasa]

Agata, thank you. Great connection.

[Trenktuvas]

@coconut07011 wouldn't that be spanish pronouncation, not the original one?

[napoleonkid5402]

@Trenktuvas @coconut07011 no, coconut07011's right. only it's lu-CHEH-aht

[lionhearte1]

@napoleonkid5402 It depends on whether you are singing in the Franco-Latin, Italiacised-Latin or Anglicised-Latin. I personally change it depending on the composer and his/her intentions.

[Trenktuvas]

@coconut07011 wouldn't that be spanish pronouncation, not the original one?

[Fuliginosus]

It's a little faster than usual, but I don't think it's too fast.

[clubboy987]

way too fast for my taste

[Mikeyacdc]

this interpretation can't test. the conductor is a tarl. it's a simple massacre of a masterpiece.

[zancosophia]

Excllent!

[SuperMusicTV]

OMPG !!! Toooooooooooooooo fast !!!!! =O

[watutman]

There are 4 great requiems in my book: Brahms, Mozart, Berlioz, Faure.

[pc20021050]

this piece is beautiful: )

[Snbrdr2292]

We (The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus) are performing this entire piece and i am so in love with it, its so complex and just wonderful.. and Agnus Dei is perhaps my favorite movement.

[ohiojib]

@Snbrdr2292 where and when?? I would love to experience it

[auntyl6549]

For me the definitive requiem, more than alright, spectacularly beautiful and moving, agree nik, the soul soars.

[nikyo0]

so close to paradise !

[Eurofrank1]

Only two stars from me, I´m afraid.

[englishrose47]

Heavenly.  Faure `s Requiem - the definitive requiem.

[jiggawhat67]

Nope, that one goes to Mozart. This is alright though.

[englishrose47]

Well, whichever one you prefer, they are both masterpieces. I feel so grateful that these genii lived, and others like them, and passed their eternal legacy on to mankind.

[PHSteb]

We're singing this Requiem for my high school christmas choir concert. I didn't like it at first, but I think it's absolutely beautiful now

[thursday111111111111]

i sang this for a school choir and i felt so calm and content whenever singing this.

[beatrizsartori]

AMAZING!!!

I absolutly love this part... I think it's the most beatufil song i've ever heard!

[NadStrange]

at 2:09... i LOVE this part!!

[marijelamsma]

nice orchestra. The choir should try to be as accurate and clear in intonation. The 'lux aeterna'-part is only enjoyable if it perfectly in tune, which isn't the case here. However, the orchestral conclusion is magnificent.

[cirocastro]

The tenors of Gardiner's Monteverdi Choir are the best in this moviment in my opinion

[Rehlyk]

Ahh, this is one of my favorite movements of the Faure Requiem. My A Capella choir sang the entire thing in a concert last night... It was great. I love the alto parts.

[wavesdude713]

the soprano lux at 2:02 sends shivers down my spine every time...and the harmonies afterwards are incredible.

[fawnie1208]

Fauré Requiem Agnus Dei. Beautiful.

[JimmyFightingBack]

This is sweet. The USD orchestra and choir did this last year. I play the trombone, so I barely played, but it was still sweet.

[FMLuFiN]

I'm singing all the Faure requiem parts in my choir in Bulgaria!! This music is soooo beautiful!!

[carlosgarcialeos]

Una buena interpretación aunque las hay mejores como la muy antigua de Ansermet y la más reciente de Gardiner

[higgsj17]

my sister performed this song at Carnegie hall in 2008..it was amazing

[tair001]

i adore this piece so much, but this version is just far too fast! the repeating motif is something to be savoured, not rushed imho

[wildwilly1111]

Agreed.

Also 3:00-3:10 is the climax of the entire Requiem, and the tenors really have to let their line rip.

[ksbear2]

When I first hear the introduction, I thought the same thing. I play this on the organ once in a while at a slower pace.

[hurlwind]

I want to buried to this. So beautiful. I love the repeated motif at the beginning, and how thed piece returns to it

[InfinitySquared]

Thank you, this is PRECISELY how I feel about this piece.

I wish to be married to Nat "King" Cole's "When I Fall In Love," and buried to the Fauré Requiem.

[BernardProfitendieu]

oh, brother!

all these losers picking out their own funeral music already - pathetic!

stop wallowing in visions of your own sad funeral and enjoy life!

[BDNt12]

I love the lux aeterna part... its so epic and mysterious

[xeyelinerxclothingx]

I've performed this song in 2007 at Carnegie Hall in NYC, it's my favorite out of all.

[galopper04]

exellent!

great!

[OrangeObsessions]

I just love that beginning part so much...so beautiful...

[LoonyLucyMilly]

I performed this in my school choir for a Christmas concert this week...

I found that he didn't really like alto's that much, there's not a lot for them to sing

we had to sing a lot of the tenor part

I think it's amazing - it's really grown on me :D

[KyoKun22]

it was originally written for a boys choir on top of them men, that is why the alto part is not very involved

[LoonyLucyMilly]

Ah! That explains it

I had alot of fun singing tenor though :D

[000nour000]

you weren't together with the orchestra however it was a very nice sound!!

[agnusdei333]

excellent. The best version i`ve ever listened

[cirederf3]

just listen the King's college version...

[chaoscast]

the requiem from Faure is one of the most beautiful music-works of all time

[Hopps1991]

awkwardbarry... I absolutely agree with you. I'm doing this song with my choir and every time that part comes up I just can't help but tune out everything else and listen to just the instrunments. Once, one of my friends thought I was about to faint because I was so zoned in.

[awkwardbarry]

3:00 - 3:25 is one of the most glorious pieces of music in history, in my opinion.

[alancarey77]

from 2.00 -3.25 I agree. I first heard it 35 years ago, when we sang it in the choir, and today it still makes the hairs on my neck raise

[000nour000]

HAHAHA!! our conductor goes NUTS at this he's completely obsessed with it!!

[301250]

Beautiful sublime stuff with so much spiritual quality, a requiem to rank alongside those of Mozart, Brahms, Verdi, Rutter. Merci for posting this, Agatamaz. sd goh (malaysia)

[Bmuskie]

Absolutely Beautiful. I remember singing that back in college and absolutely loved it then and love it now. Well done!

[bluehorsecash22]

My school choir is singing the requiem... and we rock!

btw very nice

[CyberFriendToAll]

My school chior is performing the whole series of songs. What is the last one called? I love our last song.

[justtodayz]

the greatest shame are the empty seats. Everyone should experience beauty like this. Thank you for posting this beautiful piece!

[luciusfleetfoot]

Absolutely excellent performance - tempo is just right in my opinion.

[Kath1227]

Brilliant!!!!!!

[ACDCismylife]

say*

[ACDCismylife]

Simply genius..I'll sat it again. Simply Genius..

[damageinc24]

i'm always on the verge of tears listening to this song. strong performance

[bentsimon]

same here.... it hits the core of my soul... love it!

[ayla1209]

I sang this in college and it literally DID bring me to tears! Such a moving piece of music!

[Zanite]

The middle part is... Exceptional.

[McDowell008]

a very good performace, however to make it a 'perfect' performance i would slow it down a little

[AtterseeSommer]

too fast. Is that a woman conducting? Who are the artists here? Tell me right now.

[techman85]

What does that comment imply? That a woman cannot conduct Faure properly?

[plaszek]

Lux Aeterna- that's great

[Daim777]

Best music ever! :)

[dood248]

this is awesome!!!! thank you for posting!!!!!! XD

[d1919v]

the tempo was a bit too fast. but good overall.
