Fauré, in composing a mass for the dead, had arise a gentle dawn in the light of love and hope. Maurice Duruflé followed it in spirit, if not to the letter. Like Fauré, he was imbued with the tradition of Gregorian plain-chant, retaining its colour and relief. Expressive like sighs, the Gregorian neumes are also supple like cloth. Duruflé meditated upon the service for the dead, ans each time he was able to use a textual motif, he did not hesitate to do so, just as he delved into the voluptuousness of contemporary harmony, which Ravel and Fauré - the latter nicknamed "the voluptuous Gregorianiser" by Reynaldo Hahn - showed that it fitted perfectly into the archaism of the modal scales. On antique thoughts, Duruflé created new verses. The plain-chant themes are first presented nude, then clothed in a harmonic garb both sumptuous and sober: here lies the composer's extreme skill, who constantly mancuvers between two pitfalls, dryness and anachronism, both avoided with disconcerting mastery.

DURUFLÉ EST UN GRAND MAESTRO SON REQUIEM EST GÉNIAL SUPERBE PRODIGUX MERCI D'CŒUR !!

[@GiuseppeSilipo]

Before today I did not know this requiem and this composer. Today I discovered a true masterpiece of music. I sincerely thank those who wanted to upload it to this TH-cam Channel

[@barney6888]

Yes, same here. As usual, I find with each day just how little I know. I very much appreciate this post and the discovery.

[@AMsamification]

iT IS A JOY TO SING AND IT NEVER LEAVES YOU... WHEN YOU ARE AT A MASS WITH THE CHANT YOU WANT TO SING THE DURUFLE VERSION watch that!!

[@dinno64952001]

Lord, please comfort those deceased. May your love and grace be upon us.

[@Gg-jq7ht]

As we disperse love, so maywe receive it.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und tiefempfundene live Aufführung dieses neoromantischen und perfekt komponierten Requiems mit himmlischen Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen beider unvergleichlichen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und ebenso unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im detaillierten Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!

[@annemarietartas4073]

Sans doute, cette musique, si belle, élève l'esprit, renforce notre amour pour Dieu, et nous incline à la contemplation ; cependant, il m'arrive parfois, en un éclair, de me trouver dans cet état d'esprit, sans raison apparente, sans aucune stimulation extérieure, et c'est encore plus exaltant.

[@dianalee3059]

Indescribably glorious, one of my most favorite choral works

Danke sehr. Wunderbar.

[@finolahepworth2610]

Thank you for this exquisite and celestial music How great is the combination of God filled inspiration put down as musical notes and expressed by human voices united and sharing with us a moment of upliftment and the Presence of The Most High.

[@fransmeersman2334]

Thank you very much CM/RR for this magnificent performance of Duruflé's heavenly requiem. For me this beautiful touching music is universal, transcending every creed.

[@tjittekamminga5170]

magnifique, by times otherworldly

[@philippep4983]

Merci pour le partage de cette œuvre hélas méconnue

[@daniellerouaix1387]

magnifique interprétation. Avec un tel chef, un tel choeur, de tels solistes : ça ne pouvait être que magnifique.

[@robertcohn8858]

This is such a beautiful piece. It reminds me of the work of Morten Lauridsen. Thank you so much for posting!

[@fireemblem2770]

thank you for name-dropping Morten Laurisdsen, I am going to check them out!

[@williamsmothermon9928]

OMG..Lauridson writes the most beautiful music!! O Magnum Mysterium has to be straight from heaven.

[@jeanvuvu6900]

Great !
Thank you

[@harrymotus]

Superbe, un requiem magnifique, un des plus beaux avec celui de Fauré

[@jiezao7765]

thankyou!

[@antoniocalderara3955]

[@alejohott835]

La música religiosa, desde siempre, ha sido escuchada por muchísimas personas que no tienen credos. La gran misa de J.S. Bach, el Réquiem de Mozart, el Agnus Dei de Barber, en fin, una enorme cantidad de obras como la que escuchamos nos hacen pensar a los no religiosos en como los compositores conciben la divinidad a través de su arte y...nos conmueven.

[@canman5060]

Maurice Durufle is also a professor of Music Harmony.

[@AMsamification]

and is a Priest.

[@AMsamification]

no he was not a former article said that and I decided further research...sorry

[@Gg-jq7ht]

Maitre Durufle is deceased.

[@santiagosantiago4750]

The third most beautiful requiem in my opinion, 1 - Mozart requiem, 2 - Fauré requiem , 3 - Duruflé Requiem.

[@w.m.vandelaar7427]

Verdi ???😊

[@eddydormilus5038]

Where does the German Requien fall into this?

[@eddydormilus5038]

Where does Hector Berlioz's Requiem fall into this?

[@AMsamification]

AT11:51 DOES ANYONE KNOW what part that is BELIEVE IT OR NOT A MICHAEL JACKSON ALBUM BORROWED FROM IT .

[@TheGloryofMusic]

Durufle said that when composing the Requiem he wept because of the beauty of the plainchant. Here's a rare recording of his voice, made while he was giving a masterclass: th-cam.com/video/Jaw-gyGUUTI/w-d-xo.html

Жизнелюб , прочитал название ,- зачем слушаешь , да еще требуешь другое . В кабак иди , там по требованию и уровню исполнят .

[@glennlubomirskynovitch3254]

Good music, not typical of his time but it shows his big personality. I wonder why this composer hasn't done anything for classical guitar? He was living in the time of legendary Segovia, but apparently no impress on him.

[@Mezzotenor]

This has a lovely interpretation of the Requiem in its full-orchestra version, also 3 of the 4 unaccompanied Gregorian Motets. However, the performance of Ubi Caritas, by far the best known of the Motets, is mannered and a poor model. It's tastefully done on other choral CDs.

[@herol64700]

not for me
