Aura: Requiem Gabriel Fauré
Baptist Church
An aura is considered to be a luminous body that surrounds your physical one, and this luminosity threads throughout Rising Voices' performance of this eternally beautiful Requiem. Featuring soprano Brooke Window, baritone Jeremy Tachell, and organist Josh van Konkelenberg, Fauré's Requiem offers a vision of rest and peace unlike any other.
Composed not as a dramatic statement on death, but as a gentle prayer for eternal light, it shimmers with serenity and quiet hope. With its soaring Pie Jesu and radiant In Paradisum, Fauré's setting is intimate, luminous, and profoundly human, inviting us to reflect not on endings, but on the promise of peace beyond.
