Choir of New College, Oxford - Fauré

1-'Pie Jesu', from Requiem

2-'Ave verum corpus'

http://www.newcollegechoir.com/discography-list.html

From the Album: 'Agnus Dei: music to soothe the soul'(1998)

Under Edward Higginbottom's leadership, the Choir of New College Oxford has gained a worldwide reputation and is known particularly for its stylish performances of Renaissance and Baroque music. Despite this high musical profile, with many recording commitments and a full programme of concerts in this country, on the continent of Europe and further afield, it is still recognisably what New College's founder, William of Wykeham, envisaged in the fourteenth century: a choir of sixteen choristers and clerks whose duty was, and still is, to provide a sung liturgy in one of the grandest chapels to be built in Oxford.

The Choir has appeared a number of times at the BBC Proms, and in recent years has performed to audiences in Australia, Brazil, Japan, the Low Countries, France, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

It is always amazing to me that Gabriel Faure, perhaps most well-known for his light pieces, put together this incredible Requiem and parts from the Burial Service in honour of his father. A work of rare beauty, beautifully performed.

Thank you for bring this loveliness to us - the Anglican church is indeed supreme in its musical tradition.

J'ai entendu pour la première fois le réquiem de Gabriel FAURE à la basilique de Vézelay par la Maitrise Saint Louis de Gonzague de Paris. J'ai été profondément touché.
