Wikipedia description:

Mors et vita is an oratorio in three parts by Charles Gounod that premiered at the Birmingham Festival in 1885. It was conceived as a sequel to La rédemption (1882). The 1886 Paris premiere again featured Jean-Baptiste Faure. Gounod considered this oratorio, and its predecessor La rédemption (1882) as his greatest achievements.
