Gabriel Fauré | Introduction to His Famous and Representative Works
Gabriel Fauré, the French composer who influenced many others during the 19th and 20th centuries when new forms of music were emerging.
While he was influenced by the many new styles published by his contemporaries, he did not become absorbed by them; instead, he developed his own voice with an exquisite sense of balance.
His works convey a serene purity rather than showiness.
Fauré’s famous and representative pieces span a wide range—from orchestral works to chamber music, piano pieces, and songs.
Please enjoy the beautiful melodies and harmonies that could only have come from Fauré.
