Arranged by Ray Thompson. 20th Century,Contemporary,Sacred,Spiritual. Score and parts. 17 pages. RayThompsonMusic #4980729. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553849). Fauré composed his Requiem in D minor, Op. 48, between 1887 and 1890. The choral-orchestral setting of the shortened Catholic Mass for the Dead in Latin is the best-known of his large works. Its focus is on eternal rest and consolation. Fauré's reasons for composing the work are unclear, but do not appear to have had anything to do with the death of his parents in the mid-1880s. He composed the work in the late 1880s and revised it in the 1890s, finishing it in 1900.This is a performance version of No. V Agnus Dei for double wind quintet/bass.
