Overview:

Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) was a seminal composer, organist, and teacher, pivotal in bridging the Romantic and modern eras in music. Born in Pamiers, France, he studied under Camille Saint-Saëns at the École Niedermeyer. Fauré’s compositions are noted for their refined, lyrical style, including notable works such as Pavane, Requiem, Sicilienne, Berceuse and Après un rêve. He held significant positions, including director of the Paris Conservatoire, influencing the next generation of composers – he was Maurice Ravel’s teacher, among others. Despite progressive deafness, he continued to compose prolifically. Fauré’s music is celebrated for its elegance, innovation, and emotional depth, leaving a lasting impact on French musical history.
