Requiem- Choeur et piano - Calmel

Work for 4 mixed voices choir SATB, baryton solo, organ and orchestra, music by Roger Calmel (1920-1998)

This opus was premiered in 1980 in Vaison-la-Romaine (10th edition of the triennial Choralies festival). In this piece, Roger Calmel entrusts the choir with a dominant role, sometimes in dense but tonal polyphony, sometimes in great outbursts in unison or 2 voices, where ardor and exaltation prevail. 

A major piece of 20th-century French music..
