Under its new leader, James Green, Calne Choral Society will perform Fauré's Requiem. This popular work was begun in 1887, which was within a year of the formation of Calne Choral Society, which now is one of the oldest in England. Fauré said of his Requiem, "Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem", which was reflected in his not completing what he regarded as his finished work until 1901. The French theme will continue with a short set of songs by Fauré, complimented by others from his contemporaries.
