About

Although the Universal Exhibition of 1900 meant that the eyes of the world were on Paris, it had been the beating heart of musical creativity for several decades already. The programme for this concert reveals the sources of inspiration for this sumptuous era. Composers refreshed their palettes by looking East without compromising their worldly elegance in works such as Mélodies persanes by Saint-Saëns (1870) and L’Orientale by La Tombelle (1888). The Ancient world inspired scores combining mysticism and pagan sensuality: La Vierge, a “sacred legend” by Massenet (1880), Danse sacrée by Mel Bonis (1898), and Danse sacrée and Danse profane by Debussy (1904). Verlaine’s Fêtes Galantes may have been the inspiration for Clair de Lune by Debussy (1905), a movement from the Suite bergamasque orchestrated by Caplet. In 1913, before World War I brought the curtain down on the Belle Époque, Dubois composed his Fantasietta with its quintessentially French mastery of colour.
