The battle for the airwaves cannot be limited to only those who have the bank accounts to pay for the battle and win it. Democracy is in danger. Seats in Congress, seats in the state legislature, that big seat in the White House itself, can be purchased by those who have the greatest campaign resources, who have the largest bank accounts or own riches. That, I submit to you, is no democracy. It is an oligarchy of the already powerful. --Walter Cronkite

Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) was one of the foremost French composers of
his generation, and his musical style influenced many 20th-century
composers. His music has been described as linking the end of
Romanticism with the modernism of the second quarter of the 20th
century. He trained as an organist and choirmaster in Paris, where his
teachers included Camille Saint-Saëns, who became a lifelong friend. In
later life, when he was organist of the Église de la Madeleine and
director of the Paris Conservatoire, he retreated to the countryside in
his summer holidays to concentrate on composing. By his last years,
Fauré was recognised in France as the leading French composer of his
day. Outside France, his music took decades to become widely accepted,
except in Britain, where he had many admirers during his lifetime. His
best-known works include Pavane, Requiem, nocturnes for piano, and the
songs "Après un rêve" and "Clair de lune". Although his best-known and
most accessible compositions are generally his earlier ones, Fauré
composed many of his greatest works in his later years, in a
harmonically and melodically much more complex style.
