Gentle Midnight Music

[jazzy_dave]

For my post-midnight tune i have chosen a gentle French item by Joseph Cantaloube from "Songs Of The Auvergne" as this was also a choice by Guy Garvey on his Desert Island  Discs on Sunday morning.The track is called Bailero

Enjoy. Au revoir.

I knew I had heard that somewhere before... it's in an episode of "Northern Exposure."

Canteloube wrote dozens of these arrangements and they are all lovely.

Saint-Saëns helped to inspire new french composers

[pigshitpoet.livejournal.com]

From 1861 to 1865, Saint-Saëns held his only teaching position as professor of piano at the École Niedermeyer, where he raised eyebrows by including contemporary music — Liszt, Gounod, Schumann, Berlioz, and Wagner — along with the school's otherwise conservative curriculum of Bach and Mozart. His most successful students at the Niedermeyer were André Messager and Gabriel Fauré, who was Saint-Saëns's favourite pupil and soon his closest friend. In contest to his contemporaries, Saint-Saëns wanted to define French classical composing as unique to French culture. Maybe that's why we have French regional composers like Canteloube...
