{"product_id":"requiem-ed-desmond-ratcliffe","title":"Novello — Requiem","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaure was not drawn to compose a \u003ci\u003eRequiem\u003c\/i\u003e because of the death of a loved one, even though his mother had died during the early stages of composition and his father had passed away two years before. Faure's composition does not set his Requiem to the standard liturgical text, instead adding a lyrical \u003ci\u003ePie Jesu\u003c\/i\u003e and transcendent \u003ci\u003eParadisum\u003c\/i\u003e, and omitting the \u003ci\u003eDies Irae\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTuba Mirum\u003c\/i\u003e – which, for most composers, are opportunities to demonstrate the dramatic possibilities available with the choral and orchestral forces. As a result the mood of the Requiem is relatively calm and peaceful and often referred to as a \u003ci\u003elullaby of death\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFaure's unconventional composition has become a firm favourite in the repertoire and available here is the vocal score, for soloists and SATB choir with piano accompaniment, as edited by Desmond Ratcliffe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoicing:\u003c\/strong\u003e SATB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Music Sales America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 × 6.8 × 0.1 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovello \u0026amp; Co — historic British choral and church music publisher since 1811.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthorized dealer.
