French composer, Charles Gounod (1818-1893) was a prominent in his day, best remembered for his “Ave Maria” and his opera, Faust. 1854 saw the premiere of his Solemn Mass, also known as the St. Cecilia Mass. This work fully established Gounod as a noteworthy composer. Despite being a minor composer to us today, Gounod was famed in his day, so much so that at his funeral, Camille Saint-Saëns played the organ and Gabriel Fauré conducted. Gounod's Solemn Mass proves the composer's extraordinary talent and caught the attention of much of Paris when it was first performed. Famous recordings include that of the Chorus of Radio France with the New Philharmonia Orchestra. For all aspiring choirs, Gounod's St. Cecilia Mass is an imperative, sublime addition to the repertoire.

Die franzosische Musik der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts stand ganz im Zeichen zweier Pole: Oper und Salon. Die weitgehende Missachtung der Instrumentalmusik tragt die Verantwortung fur das falsche Licht, in dem viele franzosische Meister dieser Zeit immer noch erscheinen. Unter ihnen kommt vor allem Charles-Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) grosste Bedeutung zu, dessen Auseinandersetzung mit der Gattung des Solokonzerts von weit uber die Grenzen Frankreichs hinausreichendem Einfluss war.Diese Arbeit korrigiert das heutige Bild Saint-Saens' in wesentlichen Punkten und macht deutlich, dass sein konzertantes Oeuvre zum Besten gehort, was die franzosische Romantik hervorgebracht hat.Uber den analytischen Teil hinaus, der durch zahlreiche Notenbeispiele erganzt wird, enthalt der Band die erste vollstandige Biographie des Komponisten in deutscher Sprache; ausfuhrliche Biographie, thematisches Verzeichnis der untersuchten Werke und vor allem eine chronologische Tabelle von nahezu 200 franzosischen Solokonzerten der Zeit machen den Band zu einer wertvollen Quelle fur die Musikgeschichtsschreibung des 19. Jahrhunderts.

A strong new composition for advancing groups, this dark and mysterious piece is both lyrical and lush. Reminiscent of Danse Macabre by Saint-Saëns, this work would be a great addition to any fall concert!.
Diabolique (Dya- baw- leek), a. 1. Of the Devil 2. Fiendish: devilish: wicked.Danse Diabolique is a moody piece. It is meant to evoke images of a moonlit Halloween night, alive with fiendish creatures engaged in a demonic dance. Inspired by the work of French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, this piece is best characterized by the expressive marking, sinister.The melody of this 6/8 piece is played in a smooth, legato style in contrast to the crisp pizzicato accompaniment. Care should be taken never to rush the pizzicato passages. Dynamics should be emphasized throughout, and sixteenth notes should be played off the string, with accuracy, in a spiccato style.

“Cami lle Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) is best known for his Carnival of the Animals and Organ Symphony. Yet, his Fantasy in E flat major arranged for Cornet or Trumpet and Piano remains popular in the advanced repertoire for the instruments. Saint-Saëns entered the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of thirteen, where he studied Organ and composition. He then went on to have a successful career as an organist and composer, writing his Fantasy in E flat major in 1857. The piece was originally composed for the Organ, but Henri Busser (1872-1973) recognised the work's significance and arranged it for Cornet or Trumpet with Piano accompaniment. To this day, Fantasy in E flat major remains prominent in the advanced brass player's repertoire.”.
