Oh, wow. I was already familiar with the Adagio for Strings, but that never grabbed me like this just did. And I'm glad to learn there's more to Fauré than his Requiem, which I just sang last night and found pretty bland.

And yeah, it's definitely less lyrics-oriented, although I don't know if the intent that one focus on the music or the lyrics necessarily affects my likelihood of being moved by one or the other.
