Three Pieces

Chaminade, C

International Music Company presents 'Three Pieces' by French, female composer, Cecille Chaminades; edited by Graham Bastable.

The three works in the edition are drawn from Cecile Chaminade's chamber music, and are representative of her overall style: lyrical, with clear, elegant textures and touches of chromaticism characteristic of French Romantiic music. The first piece, Serenade aux etoiles (Serenade to the stars), first published in 1911, was specifically written for flute and piano. Mignonne (1892 or before) was originally a song on a text by the French Renaissance poet Pierre de Ronsard. This poems warns the beloved of the ephemeral nature of beauty and youth, seeing it as a flower that blooms in the morning but quickly loses its color and withers away. Theme varie (1898), originally for solo piano, is a set of variations on a 6/8 tune. The writing is elaborate and virtuosic, and has a sparkling quality.
