Although Gabriel Fauré was a church musician and organist at the famous Madeleine Church in Paris, he was not considered a believer. "Not believing, but not skeptical" was the phrase his son Philippe Fauré-Fremiet used to specify, and Eugène Berteaux added that for Fauré "the word God" was a comprehensive synonym for the word "love" •
Fauré spoke disparagingly of his duties at the Madeleine as "earning a living", and he commented on his Requiem, written between 1885 and 1887, with sarcastic humour: "I wrote the Requiem for nothing ... for pure pleasure, if one may say so". In 1902, he entrusted Louis Aguettant with another version of the creation of this extraordinary composition: "People say of my Requiem that it does not express the feeling of fear of death, they call it a lullaby of death. But this is how I feel about death: as a happy release, as a striving for happiness in the other world, and not as a painful transition," and added somewhat angrily: "Maybe I just wanted to break out of the routine! For long enough I have accompanied masses for the dead at the organ and I am so fed up with them that I wanted to do something different for once.
