About Fauré: Requiem
Could this be the most beautiful music ever written? Fauré’s glorious Requiem is filled with rich, expressive melodies which speak to the soul of a peace beyond anything we can know in this life. The Three Choirs Festival Voices perform this stunning work alongside Tabakova’s exquisite Centuries of Meditations, a former festival commission. Bringing the majesty of the rolling English countryside to life, Vaughan Williams’ sumptuous Five Variants of ‘Dives and Lazarus’ complements the musical beauty of this programme exploring the sacred and secular.
