1. Santiago Rusinol - “The Bohemian (Portrait Erik Satie in His Studio in Montmarte, 1891)” “One of the keys to understanding Satie’s life and music was the idea of immobility. He said that, for him, it was richer to ‘imagine’ life than to experience it. For him, experience was a form of paralysis and so he withdrew into himself. I think one of the reasons the act of withdrawing was so important to him was because he wanted to live many different lives in one place rather than the same life in many different places. Immobility allowed him to stay in one place and grow, change and shed skins, and this was symbolised by the various ‘uniforms’ he adopted throughout his life. He started out dressing in a priestly, floor-length ‘smock’, then, for seven years, he wore nothing but seven identical velvet suits and then, in the last stages of his life, he wore the black suit and bowler hat of a minor civil servant.” http://richardskinner.weebly.com/2/post/2013/01/erik-satiethe-velvet-gentleman.html

1. Gabriel Faure - “Requiem in D Minor - VII. In Paradisum”

“It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death and someone has called it a lullaby. But it is thus that I see it: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience….As to my Requiem, perhaps I have also instinctively sought to escape from what is thought right and proper, after all the years of accompanying burial services on the organ! I know it all by heart. I wanted to write something different.”
