The Requiem "composed for no particular purpose...", as Gabriel Fauré wrote, was performed for the first time 1888 in Paris, "for the funeral of some parishioner"! It is this original performance version, without the Offertory and the Libera me, with accompaniment provided only by a string ensemble, organ and harp. The Messe des pêcheurs de Villerville (1881), composed in collaboration with André Messager, is far removed from the solemnities of the great Parisian church.
