Gabriel Fauré was a French composer, organist, pianist, and teacher whose music shaped the transition from Romanticism to modern French style. His major works include the Requiem, Pavane, Après un rêve, nocturnes, barcarolles, and chamber music. Fauré’s harmonic language is subtle, fluid, and often quietly experimental.
