Ernest Chausson

  • Publisher: Unknown

This is the biography of a significant figure in modern music and also the first comprehensive study of the French composer's life and works, some of which - the Poeme, concert, and symphony - have become standard symphonic repertoire, while others - art songs such as Le Temps des Lilas and Le Colibri - are now as well known as those of Schubert, Grieg, and Debussy. Born at the collapse of Wagnerian romanticism, from which he nevertheless inherited a strong lyrical predilection, Chausson became a student of Massenet and then of "le pere Franck," although Chausson's own individuality and original musical idiom did eventually emerge, after a painful struggle with himself, purged of any strong ...

A Guide to Orchestral Music : The Handbook for Non-Musicians

Relaxed and accessible in style, this authoritative guide is the first symphony handbook for non-musicians. The book begins with a general introduction to the symphony and short pieces on the orchestra and musical styles. Mordden goes on to describe, chronologically, over 700 pieces--from Vivaldi to twentieth-century composers. Further aids to the reader include two lists of repertory builders and a glossary of musical terms. Easy and pleasurable to read...a genuinely useful guide for the music lover who has not had a musical education but loves concert music.--John Barkham Reviews

"Between these two extremes, the main body of the book deals largely with opera, from Wagner's 'Tristan' and 'Parsifal' to Harrison Birtwistle's 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. Some works have never been performed, such as Hubert Parry's 'Guenever' and Rutland Boughton's Arthurian cycle, while others have only recently been staged or revived, such as Isaac Albeniz's 'Merlin' and Ernest Chausson's 'Le roi Artus', both striking post-Wagnerian works in very different styles - 'Merlin', for instance, beginning with a passage based on Gregorian chant. The range of music is wider than one might at first suspect."--BOOK JACKET.
