Yes, but ...

In the original version, there were no clarinets. See http://www.classical-composers.org/cgi-bin/ccd.cgi?comp=faure. The slightly later version, used for most performances, has perfunctory parts for 2 clarinets in about half the sections, consisting mostly of whole notes with a few quarter notes thrown in for variety.

For a full history, see http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:HTMRA8tZxQMJ:www.plymouthphil.supanet.com/requiem.htm+faure+requiem+orchestration&hl=en%20target=nw.

Best regards.

In the absence of a good oboe player, the beautiful slow oboe solo in the Faure Requiem is usually played on either flute or clarinet. I have had good luck playing the oboe lines on clarinet, although if I can ever hook up with an adventuresome choral director, I would love to play them on my soprano sax. (One of the top British players can make his soprano sax sound much like a fine oboe).
