Choir of New College, Oxford - Fauré

1-'Pie Jesu', from Requiem
2-'Ave verum corpus'
www.newcollegec...
From the Album: 'Agnus Dei: music to soothe the soul'(1998)
Under Edward Higginbottom's leadership, the Choir of New College Oxford has gained a worldwide reputation and is known particularly for its stylish performances of Renaissance and Baroque music. Despite this high musical profile, with many recording commitments and a full programme of concerts in this country, on the continent of Europe and further afield, it is still recognisably what New College's founder, William of Wykeham, envisaged in the fourteenth century: a choir of sixteen choristers and clerks whose duty was, and still is, to provide a sung liturgy in one of the grandest chapels to be built in Oxford.
The Choir has appeared a number of times at the BBC Proms, and in recent years has performed to audiences in Australia, Brazil, Japan, the Low Countries, France, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

What heavenly singing this piece with more trebles. Like a crowd of angels. That is very beautiful. I like Faure very much.

Yes, unlike France. The cathedrals of France are silent because of the French Revolution, which closed the French cathedral choirs. My mother requested Faure's Requiem for her funeral service.

It would be best if there is a video on the singing by the New College choir.

The 2. piece is nearly the first. A little bit meditative with nice interpretation. Also here the angels sings.
