Requiem for Paris (2)


singers assembled in the church
Malc reports:
The singers from various choirs plus a few freelancers gathered for the second rehearsal of the Fauré Requiem to be sung in hommage to the victims of the Paris shootings.
The number of male voices was considerably boosted by experienced tenors and basses so that even with my tentative efforts the sound was much improved. One thing to remember when trying to follow a score with small Latin text in a dimly lit (and cold) church: take your specs with you!


Geof Cryer discusses some points
The concert will be on Sunday 13th December at 4pm, in the church in St Antonin. Although this is a big space it is likely to be full, so make a note now to get there early. The beautiful music may be part of a mass led by the curé.
