Augusta Holmès (1847-1903)
Andromède (1883?)
Poème symphonique
Audio from: • Augusta Holmès - Andro...
Score from: imslp.org/wiki...)
Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847-1903) was a French composer of Irish descent, who had to fight for the right to become a musician. A disciple of César Franck, she was also a close friend of Franz Liszt, who admired her work and encouraged her to keep composing. Holmès declared ‘I must show the males what I’m made of!’ as she set out to compete in a male dominated profession. She produced big, grandiose works when women were expected to write songs and salon pieces. As sole beneficiary of her father’s fortune she published under her own name and was the official owner of her works. Her music was conceived for large forces, with inspirations drawn from classic myths, and, like Wagner, she wrote almost exclusively her own texts and libretti to her choral, vocal and operatic works. Holmès’ powerful, energetic music bears witness to how this woman held her own in a sphere where men exerted so much influence. ( and the scared little men said back then that her music was 'masculine' and 'viril' like). What a Woman and what ant artist. Thank you Stefano for let us know such a fabulous talent and a great woman.
Yes, she was indeed a great woman! Sadly is widely forgotten even amongst woh is interest in rediscover female composeres...
I'll almost surely make another couple of videos with her compositions, but it's hard to find pieces that are both available as recordings and as scores. :(
@@SPscorevideos please do so, it's a shame that there are so many master pieces of the greatest composers that ever lived and that so many of them are so stupidly forgotten, and many of these pieces are already public domain. and still unaviable, there are many orchestras and ensembles out there that belong to non profit org. that should be including in their programs frequently these pieces. otherwise they'll disappear.
Oh, no, the orchestras are to busy playing the complete symphonies of the 250th birthday boy (and chamber ensemble playing his quartets and sonatas)...
Anyway, Organised Sound just uploaded Holmès' Irlande: ua-cam.com/video/xazYno98QwU/v-deo.html
i think it's so cool that you uploaded something by holmès as well!
Thank you.
The monster is clearly a relative of Fafner
