Faure Requiem
Cantata Singers and music director Noah Horn perform Fauré’s Requiem, composed between 1887 and 1890, which leaves out most of the Dies irae that dominates other settings of the mass for the dead and pares back the orchestra to put the voices forward; the chorus calls the result “almost prayer-like.” The rest of the programme is unannounced, though the concert runs about an hour and 45 minutes with an intermission.
