Chaminade, Cécile - Six Romances Sans Paroles, Op. 76

A reprint edition of this important piano work by the turn-of-the-century French composer, Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944). Affiliating herself with nationalist composers such as Saint-Saëns and Gounod, her style was very much rooted in both Romantic and French tradition, her tuneful and highly accessible works were also tremendous favorites in the United States. This six-movement piano work dates from 1893. Movements: 1. Souvenance, 2. Elevation, 3. Idylle, 4. Eglogue, 5. Chanson Bretonne, 6. Meditation.
