Thanks to its transparent texture and its many beautiful melodies, which seem to be token the composer’s highly personal relation to death, the Requiem is perhaps Faur’s most popular work.

The musical structure of this frequently heard piece makes it virtually ideal for performance with organ accompaniment. This arrangement takes into account all three of the composer’s surviving versions: the early version with string orchestra as well as the two later versions with added winds and with symphony orchestra.
