Olivier Mayran de Chamisso

Summer Evening

In his compositions, Olivier Mayran de Chamisso (*1955), French guitar player and composer, devotes himself primarily to the translation of educational ideas into practice. This is why they usually emerge directly from the teaching practice and are therefore perfect to add to the teaching repertoire. The three movements illustrate the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere on a summer evening, with their style being reminiscent of French chansons. The catchy melody and the symmetrical phrase structure are reminiscent of the heyday of the flute-guitar pieces in the Biedermeier period (Fürstenau, Guiliani, Carulli, etc.). A valuable addition to instrumental lessons at secondary schools and a highlight at pupils' concerts and youth competitions.
