Wantage Choral Society presents Two Wonderful French Requiems

Requiem Faure (composed 1890)

“My requiem has been said to express no fear of death; it has been called a lullaby of death. But that is how I feel about death: a happy deliverance, a reaching for eternal happiness rather than a mournful passing away…”

Requiem Durufle (composed 1947)

“Durufle followed Faure in spirit, if not to the letter”
