Gabriel Fauré – Requiem, Op. 48 Performed by Gaudeamus Chamber Choir at St. Catherine’s Church, Newry
Sunday 16th November, 5:30pm
Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem is one of the most cherished and consoling works in the choral repertoire. Composed between 1887 and 1890, it departs from the drama and grandeur of traditional requiems, offering instead a vision of peace, hope, and eternal rest. With its luminous harmonies and gentle lyricism, the music leads listeners from the quiet sorrow of the opening Introit to the radiant serenity of the closing In Paradisum.
In the sacred setting of St. Catherine’s Church, Gaudeamus Choir brings Fauré’s deeply human and profoundly beautiful masterpiece to life, a moving meditation on comfort, light, and the promise of peace.
