In Paradisum [CF:392-03083]

Thorpe searches back to the beginnings of this favorite choral work and excerpts from the great Fauré Requiem. This piece is faithful to the original with a “singable English translation” included. Thorpe also includes background and historical notes to set the scene, with plenty of photographs for visuals. Choir members are treated to a short biography of Fauré and a discussion of the surroundings and the times before launching into the glorious music.
