We're singing Fauré's Requiem in my school choir at the moment and I've just fallen in love with this wonderous work!! It's so beautifully exquisite, optimistic and kind of minimalistic (a nice variation from all the horrifying, raging - still wonderful - requiems other composers have left us).

Lyrics:
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem. Exaudi orationem meam. Ad te omnis caro veniet Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison.

  • @Crazycoverist No, they are using French Latin. I would be very careful before accusing someone like Jeremy Summerly of teaching such a well-known and respected choir "wrong pronunciation".

  • Crazycoverist, I very much agree. The mispronunciation really does make me find another clip immediately.

  • i'm sorry to say that, there's a wonderful musical work here, despite that, wrong pronunciation of the latin, a very prominent mistake here is the "luceat".

    it could be a beautiful recording, but for me as one who already sang the requiem, these are very noticeable mistakes..

  • Pas mal du tout !!! Un pouce vert !

    Sinon, la version de la "Maîtrise ce Nîmes" n'est pas mal du tout !!

    Un pouce vert pour votre ensemble, mérité !!

  • We did both Fauré and Verdi's Requiem in my first year of college. This one is still my favorite. Thank you for uploading. =3

  • Check out another wonderful Requiem by the Swedish composer Fredrik Sixten!

  • I love it, this is sampled in one of my favourite VNV Nation songs Fragments

  • I'm singing the requiem! Except that we're accompanied only by piano instead of orchestra...
