Danse de la chèvre for Flute solo
Danse de la chèvre for Flute solo
A. Honegger: Danse de la chèvre (Dance of the Goat) for solo flute was written in 1921 as incidental music for dancer Lysana of Sacha Derek's play La mauvaise pensée (The Bad Thought) and dedicated to flutist Rene le Roy who was a student of Philippe Gaubert at the Paris Conservatory at that time. It was first performed at the Nouveau Théâtre in Paris on 2 December 1921. The original manuscript of this piece has been lost. The editions that are out now were derived from a partial transcript found in Honegger's transcriptionist's works (name unknown). Circular form of the "goat danse" may suggest cyclical nature of life.
Honegger Arthur
Arthur Honegger (1892-1955) was a Swiss composer who most of his life spent in Paris and is equally known for his eccentric lifestyle (living in different apartments with his wife), obsession with trains (thus his most performed orchestral work "Pacific 231", inspired by the sound of a steam locomotive), as well as numerous distinguished compositions: opera Antigone (1927), 5 symphonies, ballets, oratorios, his last composition "Christmas Cantata" (1953) etc.
Honegger was a member of Les Six, the group of five French (D. Milhaud, F. Poulenc, G. Auric, L. Durey, G. Tailleferre) and one Swiss (A. Honegger) composers who lived and worked in Montparnasse in the early 1920s and which musical style is seen as a reaction against the impressionist music of C. Debussy and M. Ravel.
