Etudes Latines HAHN

Pédagogie

Description :

Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliche' composer of his day, Hahn 's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. Etudes Latines, however, shatter these prejudices held, representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music was a magical art and his compositions often containexpressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. With each of the ten pieces in Etudes Latines arranged for a different selection of solo or ensemble voices, Hahn 's Etudes Latines provides pleasant and evocative pieces, incorporating a range of expressions, rhythms and other musical features.
