Emmanuel, M

Editions Henry Lemoine presents Maurice Emmanuel's 'Sonate' for flute, clarinet, and piano.

'Maurice Emmanuel, French composer of operas, symphonies, piano sonatinas and chamber music, was also an important musicologist. Though he was a product of a traditional musical education, his writing style exhibits much innovation and originality. Perhaps this was due to eclectic influences: his interest in modes and Eastern music, the impressionistic music of Debussy and Franck, the brass bands on the streets of Beaune, and songs of the grape pickers!

He wrote the Trio for Flute, Clarinet and Piano, Op. 11 in 1907. The first movement, Allegro spirito, presents a sprightly first theme and a sonorous second theme. These ideas are developed in a free-flowing style both spirited and lively. The slow second movement, Adagio, offers somewhat somber and meditative music; its dense harmonies and intermingling of parts are a rich tapestry of sound and timbre. The third movement, Molto allegro, is light and breezy and features a unique hopping gesture; perhaps it s suggestive of wind in tall grass alive with birds, insects and frogs.'
