Description:

  • Accompaniment: Piano
Raised in a family of organ builders and organists, Charles-Marie Widor's path as an organist was preordained. In 1870 he moved from his native Lyon to Paris and became titular organist at Saint-Sulpice. In 1890, following César Franck, he received the professorship of organ at the Paris Conservatoire, and six years later the professorship of composition. In addition to his orchestral works, solo concertos, vocal and chamber music, Widor's music-historical significance lies primarily in his contribution to the genre of the organ symphony. His Suite op. 34 for flute and piano, grouped around a Romance (1881) and composed for Paul Taffanel, can be considered a departure into the new French flute school. Here, for the first time, the light timbres of the Boehm flute, which Taffanel and his students brought to the world of music, are explored compositionally. The present Sérénade op. 65 is an arrangement of a duet for harmonium and organ. No information is available on the arranger.
