Gabriel Urbain Fauré (1845 – 1924) was a French composer, organist, pianist and teacher. He was one of the foremost French composers of his generation, and his musical style influenced many 20th-Century composers. 

Among his best-known works are his Pavane, Requiem, Nocturnes for piano, and the songs "Après un Rêve" and "Clair de Lune". Although his best-known and most accessible compositions are generally his earlier ones, Fauré composed many of his most highly-regarded works in his later years, in a harmonically and melodically, much more complex, style.
