Product Description

Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944) was born in Paris and began studying piano at an early age with her mother, she later studied violin and composition privately and became hugely popular in France, the UK and USA. She was the first female composer to receive the Légion dHonneur and often performed for Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle. Her US debut was with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1908 where she performed her own Concertstück op. 40 for piano and orchestra. Despite the fact that most of her 400+ works were published during her lifetime her music fell into obscurity after her death; though in recent years there has been much renewed interest.

Album des Enfants volume 1, op. 123 was first published by Enoch & Cie, Paris in 1906 and is a collection of twelve short pieces of easy-intermediate difficulty. Many of the pieces have been included on the syllabuses of the major music examination boards. Album des Enfants volume 2, op. 126 was published the following year.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
