Gabriel Fauré composed Cantique de Jean Racine in 1865 when he was just a 19-year-old student at the École Niedermeyer de Paris. The piece beautifully sets a French paraphrase of a medieval Latin hymn written by the famous 17th-century dramatist Jean Racine. This lush, serene graduation piece earned Fauré first prize in a school composition competition and remains one of his most beloved works.

Song of Jean Racine (Cantique de Jean Racine)

Word of the Highest, our only hope,

Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace,

O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people
