This is an unabridged digitally-enhanced reprint of the vocal score that was prepared by the composer with assistance from his student Jean Roger-Ducasse and published by J. Hamelle & Cie. in 1900. Measure numbers have been added along with a table of contents and instrumentation. The large (A4) format is extremely easy to read for singers, choruses and pianists. This is Faure's final version the Requiem, whose accompaniment was expanded to full symphony orchestra from the original version for organ and chamber ensemble. This version received its premiere on July 12, 1900 in Paris' Trocadéro auditorium with the voices, chorus and orchestra conducted by Paul Taffanel. It is the version that is by far the most widely performed and recorded, and performed at the composer's funeral in 1924. The matching large conductor score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music.
