Gabriel Fauré distilled some of the most beautiful melodies he ever composed into his Requiem. It was almost certainly a musical tribute to his father, who died three years before Fauré began work on the Requiem.

The Cantique de Jean Racine was written for a competition held just before Fauré graduated from the École Niedermeyer in Paris.  Fauré won first prize for his gentle, emotionally pitch-perfect entry.
