“My Requiem…has been said to express no fear of death; it has been called a lullaby of death. But that is how I feel about death: a happy deliverance, a reaching for eternal happiness, rather than a mournful passing…Perhaps I have sought to depart from what is conventional because for so long I was organist at services of interment. I’m fed up with that. I wanted to do something different.” –Faure
