España (Spanish Rhapsody)
Emmanuel Chabrier (Emmanuel Alexis Chabrier) (January 18, 1841 – September … Read Full Bio ↴Emmanuel Chabrier (Emmanuel Alexis Chabrier) (January 18, 1841 – September 13, 1894) was a French Romantic composer from the Auvergne region of central France and was born in Ambert in 1841. The region of France from whence he came was traditionally useful in providing Parisians with cheese, cabbage and men to mend the boiler. Although his parents, sensing his abilities, brought him to Paris in 1856, he did not toe the line by studying at the Conservatoire or even at any of the less prestigious musical institutions. Nor did he renege on his provincial roots. Reportedly, while passing the asparagus at supper to a grand, well-upholstered lady, he murmured: "I must warn you, Madame, it does terrible things to your urine". On the musical front Chabrier was a quick learner. The year 1883 produced not only animadversions on hermaphroditism but also Espana, the result of several months spent in Spain the previous year and demonstrating, in the view of his friend Henri Duparc, an individual style of orchestration that seemed to come from nowhere. But in the years before his death in 1894 he never learned to tell a good libretto from a bad one, and lavished some of his most beautiful music on the opera comique Le Roi malgre lui, in which, as d'Indy said, people continually come in when they ought to go out and vice versa.
From 1861 until 1880 he was employed in the French Ministry of the Interior; afterwards, he devoted himself to music.
His Idylle from Pieces pictoresque greatly influenced Francis Poulenc, who wrote in his book Emmanuel Chabrier, "Even today I tremble with emotion in thinking of the miracle that was produced: a harmonic universe suddenly opened in front of me, and my music has never forgotten this first loving kiss."

WE DANCE IT AS " RAPSODIA ESPAÑA "
RAPSODY FOR ORCHESTRA (1883)
...
Published on 2 Nov 2015Emmanuel Chabrier
España, rhapsody for orchestra (1883)
Spanish Radio Orchestra conducted by Igor Markevitch
From
July to December 1882 Chabrier and his wife toured Spain, taking in San
Sebastián, Burgos, Toledo, Sevilla, Granada, Málaga, Cádiz, Cordoba,
Valencia, Zaragoza and Barcelona. His letters written during his travels
are full of good humour, keen observation and his reactions to the
music and dance he came across – and demonstrate his genuine literary
gift. In a letter to Edouard Moullé (1845–1923); a long-time musician
friend of Chabrier, (himself interested in folk music of Normandy and
Spain), the composer details his researches into regional dance forms,
giving notated musical examples. A later letter to Lamoureux, from
Cadiz, dated 25 October (in Spanish) has Chabrier writing that on his
return to Paris he would compose an 'extraordinary fantasia' which would
incite the audience to a pitch of excitement, and that even Lamoureux
would be obliged to hug the orchestral leader in his arms, so voluptuous
would be his melodies.
Although at first Chabrier worked on the
piece for piano duet, this evolved into a work for full orchestra.
Composed between January and August 1883, it was originally called Jota
but this became España in October 1883. Encored at its first
performance, and received well by the critics, it sealed Chabrier's fame
overnight. The work was praised by Lecocq, Duparc, Hahn, de Falla (who
did not think any Spanish composer had succeeded in achieving so genuine
a version of the jota) and even Mahler (who declared it to be "the
start of modern music" to musicians of the New York Philharmonic).
Chabrier more than once described it as "a piece in F and nothing more".
WE THANK YOU WIT THE HEARTH !

It's been decades since I last heard this song. The magnificence and charm are still there. A true work of art!

Wow! Chabrier’s ‘cello writing at 4:15 to 4:25 is gorgeous and so full of color. That reach up to the high C at 4:17 and immediate drop back down is a wonderful touch.
@catchoupiote
I would n't have noticed but yes, it's interesting...
