The Capital City Minstrels presents Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem
19/05/2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
For their summer concerts in May, Delhi’s premier performing choir presents a compelling programme featuring Gabriel Faure’s Requiem and more music for the soul.
The Capital City Minstrels (CCM) upcoming summer concerts in May will feature Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, a choral masterpiece. The French composer’s seven-section Requiem, composed between 1887 and 1890, features some of the most rousing and beautiful melodies he composed and is an unusual version of a Requiem in Western classical music. Traditionally a solemn lament for the departed, Faure’s composition is noted for its tranquil outlook on the peaceful and fear-free nature of death. Fauré wrote of the work, “Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.”
Along with this stirring body of work, CCM will be singing a varied selection of contemporary sacred music, evocative pieces including a magnificent composition of the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic “Abun D’bash’Maiyo”, the tender melody of “You are mine”, the always popular “You Raise Me Up”, and more.
Conducted by Nadezda Balyan, and accompanied by pianist Nise Meruno and cellist Arina Sharma, CCM concerts always treat audiences to a wide spectrum of choral music, and this one, featuring Western classical and contemporary pieces, continues that journey.
