The liturgy of the dead is meant to be marked by a sombre mood - hence the rubrics indicating that the organ is not to be played; no solita oscula; no incense at the beginning of Mass etc. It is ridiculous to have a rule saying the organ should not be played yet have an orchestra in full flight. Victoria's requiem is much more liturgical (and beautiful).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26276133.post-1162433830569946482006-11-02T12:47:00.000+10:302006-11-02T12:47:00.000+10:30The realy cool thing about Faure's setting is that...The realy cool thing about Faure's setting is that he did not compose a Dies Irae, so (he was cior master at the Magdalane and knew what he was doing) you in clude the wonderful and unbeatable gregoian sequence and they go perfectly well together. Faure as composed the introit and Kyrie as a single peace of music wich too is lovely and seeing as though there is no incensing of the altar at that time it is litugicaly practical, all sung with the ministers praying at the foot.<BR/>I have already listened to Mozart's this morning and Donazetti's 1st movment of the Dies Irae (that's enough), tonight I will serve the Holy Sacrafice while the Gregorian is sung. <BR/>I love this feast too.<BR/>and may the souls of all the faith depart rest in peace!Acolytushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054988642769495828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26276133.post-1162420868372961112006-11-02T09:11:00.000+10:302006-11-02T09:11:00.000+10:30Personally I'm a fan of Faure's Requiem, but its a...Personally I'm a fan of Faure's Requiem, but its all a matter of personal taste.<BR/><BR/>RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26276133.post-1162404020583039662006-11-02T04:30:00.000+10:302006-11-02T04:30:00.000+10:30So very, very much better.
