This work was awarded an honorable mention by the National Flute Association in the Newly Published Music Competition in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Born on 27 January 1928, Jean-Michel Damase composes in a style often compared to Gabriel Faure, Francis Poulenc, Maurice Ravel, Serge Prokofiev, Albert Roussel, and Stravinsky; incorporating many of the rhythmic and harmonic complexities associated with twentieth-century French music. Throughout his career, Damase has remained a traditionalist, 'continuing the post-tonal line of Debussy and Ravel without the modish interest in their deeper-seated implications.' Or, in the composers own words, 'I prefer sincerity to forced innovation.' His music is accessible without being lightweight; unabashedly melodic, with a distinct delight in 'obsessive' motifs; tonal, though, paradoxically, harmonically complex; rhythmically surprising; playful; respectful of tradition and form; and always superbly crafted.' -Chez Damase\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions Henry Lemoine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968990564646,"sku":"9790230980838","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790230980838.jpg?v=1697521204","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/damase-j-m-dialogue","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
