And finally, an extract from the famous In Paradisum:

 

Gabriel Fauré composed his Requiem in D minor, Op.48, between 1887 and 1890, and reworked it several times, culminating in a concert version for soprano and baritone soloists, mixed choir, symphony orchestra and organ in 1900. The version presented here, written to be performed in religious services with a smaller instrumental ensemble, dates from 1893.
Fauré wrote of the work: "All that I have succeeded in maintaining through the religious illusion I have put into my Requiem, which is moreover dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest."
"It has been said that my Requiem expresses no fear of death, and someone has called it aberceusedof death.But that's how I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration to happiness from above, rather than as a painful experience."
