Taken from Rutter’s edition of Fauré’s Requiem, the famous Introit and Kyrie features both the original French words and an optional English text, translated and adapted for singing by John Rutter himself. Its brevity and touching poignancy makes it a suitable addition to funerals and All Souls Day services.
John Rutter’s complete edition of Fauré’s Requiem is available from Oxford University Press, with scores and parts available on sale and to hire.
