Cantique de Jean Racine (Fauré) – Ordinary SAB Choir
Cantique de Jean Racine
Complete Performance Pack
Arranged for Ordinary SAB Choir with Piano or Organ
Designed for ordinary church, school and community choirs who love great sacred music but may not have the balanced SATB forces required by the original scoring.
Gabriel Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine is one of the finest works in the French sacred choral repertoire, admired for its lyrical beauty, rich harmonies and expressive accompaniment.
This edition has been carefully arranged for SAB choir, preserving the elegance and warmth of the original while making it practical for today's community choir.
Where the original harmony requires four independent vocal lines, an S2/A1 Divisi part has been included to recreate important inner harmonies using a balanced group of Second Sopranos and First Altos.
