Chapuis: Choral

 Grade: Advanced

Dedicated to French bassist Edouard Nanny, this exquisite miniature is now available in both solo and orchestral tunings (published together) for the first time. The music is strongly independent and lyrical, in a mildly modern idiom, and makes an ideal recital work for the good intermediate bassist (c.Grade 8). The influence of Ravel and Debussy is obvious and this has much to commend it to any adventurous bassist looking for something a little different. The piano accompaniment is strong yet supportive.

Auguste Chapuis was a French organist and composer who was born in Dampierre-sur-Salon (Haute-Saone) on 20 April 1858 and died in Paris on 6 December 1933. He was a student of Th. Dubois, Jules Massenet and Cesar Franck at the Paris Conservatoire, and subsequently became organist of Notre-Dame-des-Champs and St. Rochelle. He composed three church masses, three operas, chamber music and educational music.
