This sheet music is a long story. A first version was written with André Messager for Villerville, Normandie in 1881. He was happy to write a song for adult choirs, because he was used to compose for a children’s choir. He wrote that he went on holiday in Villerville and that his friends are great musicians and singers. That’s how he came up with the idea of performing a mass he would have composed, accompanied by a small orchestra. He also explained that they had so much fun during rehearsals and that because of that or maybe thanks to that, their performance was perfect and that he was relaxed. This mass can be sung by female choirs or children's choirs. In 1907, the Gloria was removed, and André Messager’s Kyrie was replaced by Gabriel Fauré’s.

| | |  Composed by Gabriel Fauré and André Messager during their holidays in Villerville in 1881, Fishermen Mass in Villerville is a mass dedicated to the fishermen of this city located in Normandy. Initially for Female choir, Harmonium and solo Violin, it was arranged by the authors in 1882 for Female choir and Chamber Orchestra. These scores, based on the two manuscripts, are the arranged version for Female choir and Piano by Odette Gartenlaub. Written in Latin, this mass features five parts which had been distributed in-between the two composers:
1. Kyrie – Messager,
2. Gloria – Fauré,
3. Sanctus – Fauré,
4. O Salutaris (motet) – Messager,
5. Agnus Dei – Fauré.
This mass is really soft, melodious and delicate, reminding sometimes of the motets by Gounod.
