‎1 page. In black ink on light green airletter with integral address panel. No date but postmarked "2. 1. 12" January 2 1912. In French. <br/><br/>Massenet thanks Emmanuel for his heartfelt words saying "the future belongs to you" lamenting the fact that he will not be there and thanking his correspondent "with all his soul."<br/><br/>"Je vous dis absolument mon émotion charmée de toutes vos paroles. Vous êtes un professeur éminent et l'avenir vos appartient. J'aimerais être la. alors! De toute mon âme merci! Massenet."<br/><br/>From the collection of Marilyn Horne b. 1934.<br/><br/>Together with:<br/>An autograph letter signed "Lucette" to Marilyn Horne. 1-1/2 pp. Folio. Dated Paris February 1st 1991. On printed letterhead of Arts Opera-Promotion. In French. Horne's correspondent calls her "an exceptional artist with an exceptional personality" and thanks her "a million times" for coming hoping that they will be able to do other concerts together; she goes on to transcribe the Massenet note. <br/><br/>Massenet note slightly worn; creased overall and at folds; "120" in blue pencil to address panel; with small perforations to edges as issued. "Massenet was the most prolific and successful composer of opera in France at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th." Annegret Fauser Patrick Gillis and Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>A distinguished American mezzo-soprano "Horne had a voice of extraordinary range rich and tangy in timbre with a stentorian chest register and an exciting top. In concert she once achieved the feat of singing in a single programme Rossini arias and Brünnhilde's Immolation Scene proof of her exceptional versatility. Throughout her lengthy career she was an admired recitalist singing lieder mélodies Spanish and American songs with equal aplomb." Alan Blyth in Grove Music Online. unknown books‎

A clean attractive copy overall. First Edition.<br/><br/>First performed in Paris at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra-Comique on November 20 1901.<br/><br/>" . on its own terms Grisélidis is one of Massenet's most successful operas. The action moves swiftly through just over two hours of music the instrumentation shows the composer at his most economic and delicate and in no other of his operas are his melodies so unconstrained. The use of reminiscence motif is judiciously calculated. Much of the score's appeal lies in its skilful mixture of comedy and sentiment. The role of the Devil was written for Lucien Fugère one of Massenet's favourite singers; his music is full of sprightly dry Gallic wit . the title role is as touching in its delineation as it is vocally rewarding - it was originally sung by Lucienne Bréval who also created Fauré's Pénélope and Dukas' Ariane . the tenderly nostalgic duet for Grisélidis and her first love written with rare psychological insight . shows the composer at his best."

The work's strength lies in "familiar Massenet territory: erotic obsession particularly in the musical characterization of Herod. Until the turn of the century the opera was staged frequently on both sides of the Atlantic. In part because its five leading roles are rewarding to star singers it has never fallen out of the repertory." Rodney Milnes in Grove Music Online. Au Ménestrel...

Somewhat worn; moderately foxed; signatures separated; some edges chipped and with small tears; lacking final page of music supplied in photocopy; some bleeding to inscription. First Edition. <br/><br/>First performed in Paris at the Opéra on May 22 1880. <br/><br/>"La Vierge completed in 1878 is a 'légende sacrée' with a text by Grandmougin and a considerable cast. Its four scenes are 'The Annunciation' 'The Wedding at Cana' 'Good Friday' and 'The Assumption'; there is a Galilean Dance during the wedding scene. The single movement that makes up the Good Friday scene is one of Massenet's best creations broad in conception and strongly dramatic in character but the work has never found favour with the exception of the prelude to the last scene 'Le dernier sommeil de la Vierge' featuring a solo cello and muted strings." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online. <br/><br/>We would like to thank Mr. Bernard Peyrotte of Librairie Arioso in Paris for kindly informing us of the identity of the person to whom Massenet inscribed this score.

Corneille's drama had served many earlier composers including Bizet whose Don Rodrigue remains a very substantial fragment and Debussy with a similarly unfinished Rodrigue et Chimène. The libretto provided ample opportunities for Spanish and Moorish colour which Massenet exploited with his customary flair particularly in the still popular ballet movements. There is a clear kinship with the Meyerbeer/Verdi principle of casting the heroic passions of individuals against a backdrop of larger conflicts and the vision of Don Rodrigue in which St Jacques of Compostella promises him victory in the war with the Moors contributes a devotional flavour to the mix.

In Manon herself Massenet created a portrait of the eternal feminine to rank with Mélisande and Lulu and it is on this that the opera's appeal rests. In the final analysis Manon is by way of being a 'highlights' opera lacking the cohesion and economy of more mature Massenet works but those highlights were seldom surpassed in the composer's oeuvre."

OCLC no. 15813052. <br/><br/>Marie-Magdeleine an oratorio to a libretto by Louis Gallet was first performed at the Théâtre de l'Odéon in Paris on April 11 1873.<br/><br/>"Massenet's principal choral works are four biblical oratorios all of which are designed somewhat like his operas with solo arias choruses dramatic tableaux stage directions local Middle-Eastern colour and an act-and-scene structure. Their tone ranges from the devotional to the erotic and the solo parts are comparable to some of his operatic roles in range and expression. Méryem for example in Marie-Magdeleine one of his first successes when sung on Good Friday 1873 with Pauline Viardot in the main role has an impassioned C-minor solo aria in Act 3. Gallet's libretto develops the story of Méryem with Judas Iscariot cast as a scheming seducer. Its realism derived from Renan's La vie de Jésus displayed a marked contrast with the traditional reflective oratorio and the work was staged several times in Massenet's lifetime. The closing scene is a full-blooded Resurrection Hymn." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>In 1885 Georges Clairin visited Hungary with Massenet and several others. He also made the posters for the first performances of Massenet's Le cid and Saint Saëns's Samson et Dalila. G. Hartmann & Cie. [PN G.H. 644.] unknown books‎

The adventures and misunderstandings of Panurge and his wife Colombe make excellent operatic comedy. But perhaps the grossièreté of Rabelais is more literary than theatrical. In truth this final endearing comedy which had to compete for attention with such novelties as Le sacre du printemps when it was first performed has never been put to a fair test on the stage."<br/><br/>"Massenet was the most prolific and successful composer of opera in France at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th."

Thérèse a compact and compelling drama set during the French Revolution. is a 'drame musical' in two acts on a libretto by Jules Claretie who was also the librettist of La Navarraise. Thérèse is not quite so blatantly violent as that opera but nonetheless abrupt and forceful. Set during the French Revolution the dramatic story is deepened by Massenet's skill in including placid scenes of nature autumn in Act 1 and summer in Act 2 to heighten the effect of urban terror. Part of the love music is a minuet in 1790s style accompanied by an offstage harpsichord."<br/><br/>"Massenet was the most prolific and successful composer of opera in France at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th."

Werther is on the surface a simple almost commonplace story of love and death but the composer's insights shed an uncomfortable light on the workings of the human psyche in a fashion that is quite surprisingly worthy of Goethe.
