Cette œuvre sonore s’inscrit très clairement dans le sillage du Magistère de l’église dans un esprit de continuité avec la tradition et de souci d’évangélisation dans un monde sans dieu 🕌
ه های پیچیده شاخه های به هم پیوسته قدردانی کنید، رنگ های تجزیه نور به قطرات آب را در باغچه بچشید، خاک مرطوب جنگل اجدادی را به شدت احساس کنید تا رد حیوانات از گذشته عمیق را درک کنید.

I sang this marvellous Requiem in the choir, here in São Paulo, Brazil, under the direction of the great choir conductor Naomi Munakata, who tragically died from Covid in March 2020. Hearing this wonderful performance was a unique experience, as I still have in my mind these exquisite harmonies of the great Maurice Duruflé.
I had this movement played at my mother's funeral when the candles were extinguished. The end never resolves. Ive sung this piece many times. I love it! Thanks for this post.
I sang baritone this spectacular piece in our Masterworks Choir at West Chester University in 1986-7. Gorgeous! We traveled and sang a few churches in Philadelphia those years. It was a pleasure to revisit this here. Thank you. It’s 2024 and I still have the music. I saved it for ‘86. That’s how special this was to me and still is. Angelic!
This is an exceptional performance! Sublime! I am just about to conduct this exact version in Melbourne Australia in May 2024 and watching this performance has really inspired me. Thank you for making it available to the world. ❤
Woww Awesome, never expected this from Nova Scotia or even Canada! This rendition equals to any of the best indeed.. Truly spiritually sensitive performance. The training for this performance was simply unimaginable... Thank you.
Sublime. I've listened to your video/recording in memory of a dear friend who died suddenly this past Friday. He was a tenor at the Church of the Heavenly Rest in New York City. In paradisum deducant te angeli.
Splendid performance of the version with chamber orchestra of the Requiem, the last of three versions Duruflé wrote and preferred over the first one with symphony orchestra (recorded on an historic ERATO disc with the maestro conducting and his wife playing the organ) and the second one with organ solo. It is also the first time I see a conductor swinging a pencil instead of a baton (?) Interesting as well: the bariton soli in the Offertorium and in the Libera me are sung alternatingly by the choir basses and tenors, similarly the stunningly beautiful solo for mezzo-soprano in the Pie Jesu is sung by the choir alti and sopranos: if nothing else, it is consistent with gregorian plainchant tradition and I am convinced that this adaptation would have greatly pleased Duruflé ...
I just love this Requiem and this performance is one of the best I’ve ever heard. The Introit is gorgeous. What a beautiful way to go to Heaven for Eternal Rest
These young boys' voices at 1 hr. are so beautiful. Very sorry to throw some cold water on this, but it's the 21st century. Surely we can have young boys AND GIRLS join sing these parts?
They are the boys from Capella Regalis Men and boys choir which at the time was the only boys choir which sang church music in Halifax(there were 0 Girls choirs that sang church music at the time). BUT now the newly formed Capella Regalis Girls choir is in full swing! I believe the director of the concert also used the boys choir because that is the way the piece is intended to be performed. But thank you for your kind words after all i am one of the boys in the choir lol this was my first concert. Go check out the Capella Regalis RU-vid page where they are releasing a concert recording of Faurés Requiem (Released on April 1st for limited time) with the Boys and Girls choirs, and with the all saints cathedral choir! A wonderful concert I was glad to be apart of! Hope you enjoy it! Happy Easter!
I remember the first time I heard this Requiem: as a student I had borrowed a CD of the Corydon Singers with Matthew Best performing this piece from the university library. I was captivated from the very first beginning until the (open) end, however it was exactly the Kyrie that overwhelmed me most of all, I simply could not stop listening to this piece over and over again. To the present day I believe that Duruflé was inspired by Heaven´s best musicians (including J.S. Bach and the choir of Seraph Angels) when he wrote this heavenly music ...
