Score and parts.
The text of the original piece is a French translation, by the 17th century French dramatist Jean Racine,Â
of a medieval Latin hymn, Consors paterni luminis. When Gabriel Fauré set the translation to music,Â
he gave it the title Cantique de Jean Racine, rather than the title of the original hymn.
