Messe Basse

Gabriel Faur
Arranged for SATB Choir by Christopher Moore

Messe Basse

Gabriel Faur Version 1.2a, November 2001

An arrangement for soprano soloist, SATB Choir and Keyboard by Christopher Moore The Messe Basse by Gabriel Faur was originally written for female voices, with soloists. It consists of a Kyrie, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei. Faur did not include a Gloria. This version draws upon the copy publicly available on the Internet on the Choral Public Domain Library (http://www.cpdl.org) kindly provided by Rafael Ornes. It expands the solo and choir lines into a full solo plus SATB choir arrangement. The solo and accompaniment lines have been left untouched. The SATB arrangement wherever possible draws upon the original parts and harmonies contained in the organ/harmonium accompaniment. I have only written new parts where such parts and harmonies do not exist. As a result, this arrangement still keeps very much to the original music. I would appreciate feedback on this arrangement, and any suggestions for improvement. E-mail may be sent to cid_moore@optusnet.com.au. This edition may be freely copied for non-commercial performance. It may not, however, be changed in any way without the editors approval. I would like to thank Rafael Ornes for the original score.
