Life
Life
Born in Paris, the son of the organist of the same name, he studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Alexandre Guilmant and Paul Vidal and won first prizes in counterpoint and fugue, piano accompaniment and harmony. He worked as a coach in the class of Louis Vierne, who dedicated the song from the Vingt-quatre pièces en style libre to him and was organist at the Église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot. From 1927, he taught harmony at the Conservatoire. Among his students were Jacques de La Presle, Georges Taconet and Lucien Caillet Fauchet composed a symphonic piece for organ and orchestra, a solennelle mass for four-part choir and orchestra, a mass for three-part choir and string quartet, Ecce sacerdos magnus for soloists, choir and orchestra, motets and other choral works as well as songs. His symphony for Concert band is still in the repertoire of wind orchestras today. Paul Fauchet died in Paris on 12 November 1937 at the age of 56.
