Program Notes
A wonderfully delicate and effective setting of the original work composed by Fauré in 1865. This magnificent transcription for winds retains all the glory and color of the full chorus and orchestra version, complete with harp and string bass.
-Program Note from publisher
The text of this song is a translation of a medieval Latin hymn, Consors Patemi Luminis (“0 Light of Light”), by the 17th-century dramatist Jean Racine. When Fauré at age 20 set the translation to music for a school competition, he gave it the title Cantique de Jean Racine, rather than the title of the original hymn. This delicate setting won Fauré first prize and includes string bass and harp.
