Henri Sauguet's music remains little known outside his native
France and portions of Belgium. Even there a younger generation of
listeners and practitioners only vaguely associate his name with
the ballet Les Forains, the popular song Le Chemin des forains, and
a handful of other minor masterworks. Yet, during his lifetime,
impresarios, poets, stage directors, choreographers, and film
directors eagerly sought his collaboration on important projects.
Henri Sauguet: A Bio-Bibliography is the first English-language
book to treat Sauguet not only as a composer, but as a music critic
and observer of the French music scene for more than sixty years.
No other single source highlights the multi-faceted talents of a
man who may be called the grand old man of French music. The volume
is organized into five parts, beginning with a brief biography of
Sauguet's life. This is followed by the most complete list of works
and performances compiled to date. This section is subdivided by
genre--operas, ballets, instrumental music, vocal music, electronic
music, music for the cinema, stage, and broadcast; each item within
a genre chronologically follows the name of that kind of work.
Performances appear chronologically with premieres listed first,
and a sampling of prose writings and speeches by Sauguet is
included. Music and drama reviews are presented separately in
chronological order under the name of the journal in which they
appeared. The complete discography is organized alphanumerically,
an arrangement dictated by record manufacturers' labels and
numbers. The bibliography of writings about the composer is
organized alphabetically by author with anonymous works inserted
alphabetically by title. Two appendixes follow the work proper:
organizing the music alphabetically by title, and chronologically
to give a clearer picture of the progression and disposition of
works during the composer's career. An index of the people,
organizations, and events cited throughout completes the volume.
Music libraries will want to add this reference work to their
collections. Other libraries and scholars with an interest in
theatre, media, and French cultural history will also want to
acquire this volume.
