Variations Pastorales Sur Un Vieux Noel Harpe SAMUEL-ROUSSEAU

Classique

Description :

French composer, organist and opera director Marcel Samuel Rousseau (1882-1955) studied at the Paris Conservatoire and won the Prix de Rome in 1905. He is best remembered for his operas, however his other compositions have not gone amiss, Variations Pastorales Sur Un Vieux ‎ Noë l being no exception. Rosseau was highly influenced by Gabriel Faure and he was an expert in chromatic harmony, often seeking to evoke a strong sense of the dramatic in his works. These features are prominent in Variations Pastorales Sur Un Vieux ‎ Noë l, which beings with a calm theme before developing into eightcontrasting variations and a conclusion. For all intermediate to advanced harpists, Rousseau 's Variations Pastorales Sur Un Vieux ‎ Noë l is an essential alternative addition to the repertoire.
