Introit and
Kyrie from Requiem Mass

Fauré was born in France in 1845. Under the tutelage of
Camille Saint-Saëns
he was groomed to be an organist and was first appointed as chief organist at
the Church of Saint-Sauveur, at Rennet in Brittany.
In 1888 Requiem, Op. 48 was performed for the first time. It has
been described as "a lullaby of death" because it lacks a sufficient amount of
dramatic content. However, the Introit and Kyrie are exceptions to this
description because
the
primary characteristics are the use of varying dynamics and constant crescendo
and decrescendo. This work is a great festival or contest piece but it requires
a large group for it to be effective.
It opens with the Introit and Kyrie
which have
become the most performed portion of the Mass.
