Composition: Requiem, Op. 48
Composer: Gabriel Fauré (1845 - 1924)
Gabriel Fauré was a major figure in late 19th century and early 20th century classical music in France. A student of the great Camille Saint-Saëns, he became an important teacher to many notable composers of the modern French school, including Maurice Ravel, George Enescu, and Nadia Boulanger. Born in the first half of the 19th century and living well into the 20th, Fauré represents a kind of bridge between the lush, rich harmonic idiom of the Romantics and the innovative styles of the modern era. Fauré was satisfied to gently expand the palette of harmonic convention, but never threw off the influence of his forbears. He was a longtime church musician and organist, and one can hear the echo of 19th century expressive gestures mingled with the supple lines of Gregorian chant in his distinctive style.
The Requiem was a masterpiece long in the making. Fauré began the work in 1888, and gradually expanded it over the next decade, finally completing it in 1900. The Sanctus, featured here, was written during the first stage in 1888. Of the work, Fauré said, "It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death, and someone has called it a lullaby of death. But it is thus that I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience." The Requiem was performed at Fauré's own funeral in 1924 but would not have its American debut until 1931 in a student performance in Philadelphia. Despite these modest beginnings, the work has become a staple of the choral repertoire that no choir can neglect performing.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
Thank you to Hillsdale College and the Christ Chapel Choir. Hearing this means so much to Catholics at the beginning of Holy Week (2023).
Nicely done, but I thought that the Violin was poorly tempered for this work. (imo)
Wonderful violinist. Wonderful performance.
Beautiful! Absolutely no reason to forget our cultural past.

I don't want to sound pervy and paranoid, but if I were a man, then I'd be frequenting the Christ Chapel. "I'm here for the music, I swear!" But really, I'd be looking for a wife. Are there any safeguards from the "shopping kind", like me, I wonder?
