    Gabriel Faur (18451924) [ French Composer ]

    Period of time = Modern


    No. III = Gavotte: Allegro vivo
    No. IV = Pastorale: Andantino tranquillo
    Gabriel Faure was a founder of the National Society for French
    Music and the first president of the Independent Musical Society.
    He was a professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire in
    1896 and its director from 1905 to 1920, when he resigned
    because of a hearing loss.
    Faures refined, highly civilized music embodies the aristocratic
    qualities of French tradition. His piano pieces, were written during
    all periods of his creative life, including impromptus, preludes, 13
    barcaolles, 13 nocturnes, and a few larger works.
    Generally, French tradition is essentially classic, regarding music
    as sonorous form rather than expression. Instead of emotional
    displays and music depiction we get subtle patterns of tones,
    rhythms, and colours. The music is more lyric or dancelike rather
    than epic or dramatic.
