      En fait la bonne musique est une parfaite synchronization entre la voix humaine et un instrument de musique. Voila que l’on retrouve dans cet interpretation. Harmonieuse inspirational. Je l’adore.

      Our Cathedral choir sang this at my mother’s memorial mass in 2017. We sang it in English and it was so moving. The tears were streaming.

    Très grande émotion d'écouter ce cantique que j'ai eu le bonheur de chanter avec mon ensemble vocal, en 1962, ainsi que le requiem de Fauré. Merci à Guy Maneveau !

    It's incredible to think that Faure wrote this when he was just nineteen years old. Just right for unwinding after a hectic day. I never, ever tire of singing it. John Rutter and his Cambridge Singers have managed to make it sound even more beautiful, if that's possible!

    cette version très lente plait à beaucoup. moi moins que des versions plus "vertes", plus rapides (sofi jeannin) version qui transmet une émotion supplémentaire :la joie et la lumière vive du bouleversement de la foi. la foi comme une énergie. ici je sens trop de mélancolie.

    Its distant root is Psalm 137: By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept: when we remembered thee O Sion, recalling the long Jewish exile. (see Wikipedia)

    Je ne sais pas c'est "le bon" tempo, car cette appréciation est très variable (édifice, effectif, ambiance générale...°. Par contre ce tempo extrêmement lent, presque à la limite de la rupture, me semble très pertinent. Il me donne l'impression d'une supplique "venue de loin". C'est une belle vision, parmi d'autres aussi intéressantes et justes.
