This edition of Salve Regina by Gabriel Fauré is a version of this Marian hymn for a SABT accompanied by the Piano or the Organ arranged by Henri Busser. This features lyrics in Latin and can be sung by two or four voices also accompanied by Violin or Cello ad libitum. This lyrical piece is quite slow (tempo 66) and the Organ score does not feature any pedals: the difficulty could meet the skills of upper intermediate level players. Five verses can be distinguished in the whole piece and its polytonal aspects make it sound really rich and harmonious. Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) was a French composer organist pianist and teacher. He was one of the greatest composers among his peers and strongly influenced all the following generations of composers. One of his best-known compositions is the famous 'Requiem'.

The motets and choral pieces, composed with the distinctive features of the Madeleine organ in mind, enchant with their colourful, floating harmonies and convey a certain intimacy even with their ritualized Latin texts. These works are very well suited for performances by small vocal ensembles. A novelty is the inclusion of the double bass part (ad libitum) which does not appear consistently in the first editions but corresponds to the musical practice at the Madeleine.Numerous gems such as the “Cantique de Jean Racine†or the “Messe basse†are published in performing editions based on the musical text of the “Gabriel Faur – Å’uvres complètesâ€.
