1. Gabriel Pierné (Composer, Arranger) (Bach Cantatas Website).
His music: Gabriel Pierné's output as a composer, while by no means as vast as some of his Parisian colleagues (one thinks in particular of Camille Saint-Saëns), includes entries in most of the standard genres (8 operas, oratorios, instrumental and orchestral music, and songs). In typically French style, he avoided symphonic form in favour of orchestral poems and character pieces. His works are all marked by his clear technique and pleasing synthesis of Franckian and Debussian traits. His operettas have sensuous charm (e.g. Sophie Arnould, 1927), his large-scale works (e.g. the 1897 oratorio L'an mil and the opera Vendée from the same year), showcase a solid grasp of musical architecture, and the smaller chamber works (sonatas for both violin and cello and a String Quintet, among other pieces), are more indicative of his exceptional facility. His most popular(Submitted on January 26, 2023.)works are the oratorio La Croisade des Enfants (1905), the piano pieces Marche des petits soldats de plomb and Entrance of the Little Faun, and Introduction et variations sur une ronde populaire for saxophone quartet.Photographed By Andrew Ruppenstein, July 27, 20222.
