Poll
Question:
What is your favorite movement of Faure's Requiem?
Option 1: I. Introitus
Option 2: II. Offertorium
Option 3: III. Sanctus
Option 4: IV. Pie Jesu
Option 5: V. Agnus Dei
Option 6: VI. Libera Me
Option 7: VII. In Paradisum
Here's a nice laid-back poll compared to the more all-encompassing ones we've had recently. Just out of curiosity, I was wondering which of the seven movements of Faure's heart-melting Requiem is most popular.
I'd vote for all if I could, but if I'm singling one out it would have to be the Libera Me (particularly the outer sections). Runners-up would be the Introitus, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei.
Easy, Agnes Dei. Perfect from beginning to end. I really love the interesting shifts in tone and mood throughout.
You should have named this "One Faure Requiem section to rule them all."
;D

I have an old, dear friend named Agnes. You mean
Agnus 0:) 8) :)
Introït et Kyrie. Specifically the moment requiem aeternam kicks in.
Runner-up? In Paradisum!

Oh no! ???
I blame Nate, he has Agnes in his opening post, I must have seen it and it stuck in my head. ;)
Sanctus is quite special, especially when the solo violin is used.
Nice av, BTW, Greg!

"Have you got a 27b/6?"
Haha! That was seriously just going through my head trying to remember the sequence of numbers/letters.
Good one, Karl. 8)
That's my favorite role of Bob Hoskins's!
All right, Eddie Valiant runs a close-ish second . . . .
Sanctus gets the vote; Libera me a close second.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, Greg. ;D
I'm the sole vote for In Paradisum, which I find intensely moving.
