Ernest Chausson - La légende de Sainte Cécile, Op. 22 (1891)

[@MrSOLOPIANIST]

C'mon Mr Bartmans. Its not like you to omit the names of the orchestra and choirs and dates. Who??? When??? Where??? Because its all beautifully done. I really enjoyed the notes you supplied. Ernest Chausson has been completely off the radar For almost all of my life until recent weeks thanks to you. Even though I have a degree in classical music from Liverpool University, I hardly ever heard his name even mentioned. Of course, he died too young before his career really took off. But still, his music is RAVISHING. I absolutely adore his Poem de L'Amour the Piano Quintet and the Piano Quartet. Thanks to you putting them on youtube. I am deeply indebted to you. Thank you for your service to beautiful music

Chausson first used celesta in his Tempest music in 1888, predating Tchaikovsky by four years.

[@lukasmiller486]

The use of celesta and choir remind me of Alfred Newman’s music for the Song of Bernadette in the vision scene.

[@steveegallo3384]

Will hear Bernadette right now....Thanks from México!

Very Chausson and lovely, though I feel his choral writing is not as mesmerising as his instrumental and solo vocal work. A sacred counterpart to "L'amour et la mer"?

Chausson was ahead of his times creatively-

[@gerardbegni2806]

I fully agrre with you. Unfortunately, this is a melodrama (spoken texte and music), a genre totally neglected nowadays. Rhis is for instance the case of "l"Arlésienne" by Bizer, which was saved by his friend Guiraud through two faous and autstandingly orchestrated bt his friend Guiraud. Here, no reochtesration is needed. The music could be plated as weitten without rg spoken text or rearranged such as L'Arlésienne or Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé if the croirs were considered as unmanageable. By any means, this misoc hes to ba saved. Another example is Eésurrection by César Franck, whicn is known only by one orchestral excerpt, but is an outstanfing masterpiece when integrally heard
