Par HAHN. Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliche' composer of his day, Hahn 's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. Rondels for SATB choir and Piano however, shatter these prejudices held, representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music was a magical art and his compositionsoften contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Rondels is made up of twelve movements, depicting different aspects of nature. Hahn 's Rondels contains a variety of different features, making for a pleasant and evocative work for advanced choirs./ Répertoire / Voix Mixtes et Piano
