A journey to Chaminade's Callirhoë Suite

Music Map

Available for 25 days

Sara Mohr-Pietsch is our guide on a musical journey towards the ballet suite Callirhoë by the French composer Cécile Chaminade. Though she was celebrated internationally n her time - one of her pieces was chosen o be played at Queen Victoria's funeral - her music has been neglected since. Pointing the way, we hear French dance music from the court at Versailles to the Folies Bergère; pieces by Chaminade's contemporaries Erik Satie and Claude Debussy; and Venus-inspired music from Gustav Holst and Miles Davis. To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say: "Ask 鶹 Sounds to play Music Map."
