With the New Millennium approaching, the Royal Armouries Museum commissioned a new work to mark the millennial celebrations and it's own move, from London to Leeds. The work was composed in 1999 and given the subtitle 'A Mass for Peace'. It was dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo war (February 1998 to June 1999), and it's last movement expresses hope, from Revelation 21:4, that 'God shall wipe away all tears'.
The Choir sang the Kyrie, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, Benedictus and 'God shall wipe away all tears'.
Gabriel Fauré was a French composer, born in 1845, whose musical talent came to the fore when he was just a boy. At age nine he was sent to Paris to study to be a church organist and choirmaster, in both of which he succeeded for many years after graduating in 1865.
In 1877 his first violin sonata was performed by the Société Nationale, which became a focus for his composing career. He started to work on his Requiem in 1887 until its completion around 1901.
