Leave the hectic word behind and immerse yourself in the heavenly music of Fauré’s peaceful Requiem and Schubert’s gentle and hopeful Stabat Mater (D383).

Fauré’s tranquil Requiem is dominated by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest without the terrifying description of the Last Judgement. Schubert’s beautiful Stabat Mater is based on a free German adaptation by the German poet Klopstock. It places Christ’s love and the promise to “inherit the joy of paradise” at the centre of the contemplation. Enjoy an uplifting and soothing afternoon.
