COMPOSSER

Gabriel Urbain Fauré 12 May 1845 – 4 November 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, Sicilienne, 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 more

harmonically and melodically complex style.

César-Auguste-Jean-Guillaume-Hubert Franck (10 December 1822 – 8

November 1890) was a composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher

who worked in Paris during his adult life. He was born at Liège, in what is

now Belgium (though at the time of his birth it was part of the United

Kingdom of the Netherlands). He gave his first concerts there in 1834

and studied privately in Paris from 1835, where his teachers included

Anton Reicha. After a brief return to Belgium, and a disastrous reception

for an early oratorio Ruth, he moved to Paris, where he married and

embarked on a career as teacher and organist. He gained a reputation as

a formidable musical improviser, and travelled widely within France to

demonstrate new instruments built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

Edward William Elgar (2 June 1857 – 23 February 1934) was an English

composer, many of whose works have entered the British and

international classical concert repertoire. Among his best-known

compositions are orchestral works including the Enigma Variations, the

Pomp and Circumstance Marches, concertos for violin and cello, and two

symphonies. He also composed choral works, including The Dream of

Gerontius, chamber music and songs. He was appointed Master of the

King's Musick in 1924.
