Open the sheet music libraryGabriel Fauré (1845-1924)
French composer who spent decades as a church organist and choirmaster to pay the bills while composing some of the most quietly refined music of his era, only achieving real recognition late in life when he became director of the Paris Conservatoire, from where he taught and championed a generation of younger composers, Ravel among them. His Requiem set out deliberately to avoid the fire-and-brimstone drama of the form, aiming instead, in his own words, for something more like "a lullaby of death." He kept composing even through severe hearing loss and near-total deafness in his final years, guided entirely by his inner ear.
Start with these
The easiest Fauré on the shelf, in order. Nothing here is graded and nobody is ranked: the shelf simply puts the pieces that ask less of your hands before the ones that ask more.
How the reader works
Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.
Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.
Where to go next
If you are learning Fauré rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
