Fantasie
Hüe Georges Adolphe
Georges Adolphe Hüe (1858-1948) was a French composer whose music met limited success, mostly likely because his style didn't evolve along the time. The Fantasy remains as one of the most popular works of the composer.
Born in Versailles in the family of renown architects, he studied music with Charles Gounod and César Franck. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1879 for cantata Médée, he wrote his first stage work, Les Pantins ("The Jumping Jacks") which was highly appraised as well. Further artistic explorations led to works with more contradicting ideas (e.g. socialism and Catholicism) while preserving the same musical style which didn’t change over the years. Even though his works didn’t appeal to many, he had several admirers, including Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré. The Fantasy for Flute and Piano remains one of the most popular works.
