Info zu Fauré: Requiem (1888)
Das Requiem, das ‚für keinen bestimmten Zweck komponiert wurde‘, wie Gabriel Fauré schrieb, wurde am 16. Januar 1888 in der Madeleine-Kirche in Paris ‚für die Beerdigung eines Gemeindemitglieds‘ uraufgeführt. Diese ursprüngliche Aufführungsfassung ohne das „Offertorium“ und das „Libera me“, nur begleitet von einem Streicherensemble (Bratschen, Celli und Kontrabass), Orgel und Harfe, wird hier in einer Weltersteinspielung präsentiert. Die „Messe des pêcheurs de Villerville“ (1881), die in der Normandie in Zusammenarbeit mit André Messager komponiert wurde, ist weit von den Feierlichkeiten der großen Pariser Kirche entfernt; ihre ursprüngliche Fassung wurde für Frauenstimmen mit Harmonium und Violinbegleitung geschrieben. Anlässlich des hundertsten Todestages von Gabriel Fauré im Jahr 1924 lädt der Chœur de Chambre de Namur dazu ein, zu diesen Ursprüngen zurückzukehren.
