Mors et vita is anoratorio in three parts byCharles Gounod premiered at theBirmingham Festival in 1885. It was conceived as a sequel toLa rédemption (1882). The 1886 Paris premiere again featuredJean-Baptiste Faure.[1] Gounod considered this oratorio, and its predecessorLa rédemption (1882) as his greatest achievements.[2]
The oratorios of Franck have their seamy parallels with those of Charles Gounod. La Redemption and Mors et Vita were considered by their composer as being his greatest achievements, his offering upon the Altar of the Christian Church.
