Gabriel Fauré composed the Cantique de Jean Racine in 1865 as the prize-winning final work of his musical training. The Cantique already possesses the typical Fauré characteristics of an expressive choral movement and, together with the Requiem composed much later, is one of the composer's most popular works.
Christiane Rosiny’s arrangement for SMsAB choir is aimed at mixed ensembles with a limited number of male voices as well as youth choirs. While soprano and bass remain practically unchanged, the middle voices are arranged for soprano and alto. The arrangement is a volume of the series SPLENDID SONORITY. Masterpieces arranged for choir with one male voice.
In addition to the score of the version for string orchestra, a version for organ is also available (Carus 14.402/10). The vocal parts (solo and chorus) are identical in both the string and organ versions. The organ reduction also serves as the choral score for both the string and organ versions.
