Gabriel Fauré was born in Pamiers, Ariège, Midi-Pyrénées, in the south of France, the fifth son and youngest of six children of Toussaint-Honoré Fauré (1810–85) and Marie-Antoinette-Hélène Lalène-Laprade (1809–87).

Fauré is regarded as one of the masters of the French art song, or mélodie. His devotion to the mélodie spans his career, from the ever-fresh "Le papillon et la fleur" of 1861 to the masterly cycle L'horizon chimérique, composed sixty years and more than a hundred songs later. Fauré's songs are now core repertoire for students and professionals, sung in conservatories and recital halls throughout the world.

Fauré’s haunting Madrigal (Opus 35) is at first a dialogue between the young men and women of the world, and later an admonishment to both by the older, wiser heads around them. The opening melodic idea is an exact quote of the Armand Silvestre's poem Aus tiefer Noth (Out of deep need), perhaps used as a joke by Fauré for his friend, André Messager, who received the piece as a wedding gift in 1883.

Although this piece was originally written for Chorus and Piano or Orchestra, I arranged it for Piano and String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
