Faure, Gabriel - Berceuse Opus 16 - Violin and Piano - Edited by Zori - International Music Co.
Gabriel Faure was born in 1845 in Palmier, France and died in Paris in 1924. He studied organ and composition with Camille Saint-Saens. Among his most often performed works are the Pavane, Opus 50, the Requiem, Opus 48, the piano quartets, Opus 15 and 45, and his songs. Faure’s innovations in harmony formed an important bridge between the Romantic era and the modernism of the impressionists such as Debussy and Ravel, who was a student of Faure. Significant among his other pupils were George Enescu and Nadia Boulanger.
The Berceuse, or cradle song, Opus 16, was written in 1879 while Faure was working as organist at La Madeleine in Paris. Although Faure did not consider the piece important, it soon became so popular that it could be heard at almost any cafe in Paris. In fact, it was with this work that success and fame first came to Faure, by bringing him to the attention of Julien Hamelle, who became Faure’s music publisher for the next 20 years.
