Collegium Laureatum Conductor: Ian Cobb Organist: Richard Sands

Programme: DVORAK MASS in D *** FAURE REQUIEM CANTIQUE DE JEAN RACINE

Soloists: Augusta Hebbert, Edward de Mickwitz

Dvorak wrote his Mass in D major in 1886. Dvorak's main publisher refused to publish this work because the original scoring was for choir and organ. However, the London firm Novello accepted it on condition that he provide an orchestrated version as well. He did this in 1892. Collegium Laureatum will perform the orginal version.
Faure dedicated the Cantique de Jean Racine to Cesar Franck. It was Franck who conducted the first performance at the Societe Nationale on 15th May 1875. The final piece will be Faure's Requiem. Collegium say : "We will not have to be so careful inviting you to this performance as Faure was when he invited his friends to the first (unfinished) version sung at a funeral. He said:"I shall be performing my requiem at 4.30 tomorrow, if you are passing the door, just drop in. Ask my friends not to sit together in case it begins to look like a performance! You must look as if you are there by chance."
