Abstract
The complete synthesis of the principles of modality and tonality is one of the most remarkable features of the harmonic style of Gabriel Faure. This survey primarily deals with instances of modal usage, and with their integration into the tonal framework. Faure was not the first composer to introduce modal elements into the nineteenth-century harmonic idiom, Probably the most influential pioneer in this field was Anton Reicha (1770-1836
