At least 10 ex - Original text of the “Gabriel Fauré - Œuvres complètes” - Charming repertoire for small vocal ensembles - With a small-scale instrumental accompaniment, predominantly organ
The motets and choral pieces, composed with the distinctive features of the Madeleine organ in mind, enchant with their colourful, floating harmonies and convey a certain intimacy even with their ritualized Latin texts. These works are very well suited for performances by small vocal ensembles. A novelty is the inclusion of the double bass part (ad libitum) which does not appear consistently in the first editions but corresponds to the musical practice at the Madeleine.
