Faure was not drawn to compose a Requiem because of the death of a loved one, even though his mother had died during the early stages of composition and his father had passed away two years before. Faure's composition does not set his Requiem to the standard liturgical text, instead adding a lyrical Pie Jesu and transcendent Paradisum, and omitting the Dies Irae and Tuba Mirum – which, for most composers, are opportunities to demonstrate the dramatic possibilities available with the choral and orchestral forces. As a result the mood of the Requiem is relatively calm and peaceful and often referred to as a lullaby of death. Faure's unconventional composition has become a firm favourite in the repertoire and available here is the vocal score, for soloists and SATB choir with piano accompaniment, as edited by Desmond Ratcliffe.

would have been good if I had received it
I have owned this before and it was good. I lost my copy in the floods here in Australia in 2011. This was to be a replacement copy but after 2 months I still haven't received it. I've contacted SMP twice but basically they say that it can't be tracked because it was standard shipping. Will be very reluctant to purchase from SMP again. I would have loved to give a review but it's a little hard when I don't have it.
