Faure Requiem

Black Mountain Presbyterian Church will present a special service of remembrance and light on Sunday evening November 6 at 7PM at the church at 117 Montreat Road in Black Mountain. During the service the Chancel Choir of the church will perform “Requiem” by Gabriel Fauré. Admission to this formal service is free and open to the public. This service will help participants call to mind and commemorate family and friends who have died; the service will conclude with the lighting of candles in memory of those who have died. This worship service will include Bible readings, poetry as well as hymns and the special music to be performed by the choir. Fauré composed his Requiem over a span of several months between 1887 and 1890. It was performed at Fauré’s own funeral in 1924 and premiered in the US in 1931. In this setting the choir will be accompanied by a small ensemble including Mike Barker, organ; Michael Brubaker and Christina Cornell, French horns; Alice Keith Knowles, violin; and Judy Bailey, harp. Contact the church 669-2725 or michaelb@bmpcnc.org for more information.
