' Had my father lived, I make no doubt I should have desired to be a painter rather than a musician; but my mother's profession and the education she gave me, during my early youth, turned the scale to music.' Charles Gounod later seriously contemplated taking holy orders and studied theology for several years, but this time his love of the theatre helped him turn to music again. All these influences are apparent in his music. St Cecilia Mass
