Product Description
Narcisse Bousquet (ca. 1800 1869) was a
French composer, flageolet player and the conductor of the Elysée-Monmartre
orchestra. He appears to have been
active in both England and France in the first half of the Century. The dates
given are the conventional ones, though there is a lack of evidence to support
them.
In about 1855, Bousquet worked with Jules
Prudence Rivière at the "Casino Paganini". There is a reference to him working
in Paris at the Bal Barthélémy between about 1860 and 1865.
One book "Le Polycorde ou Nouveau Traite
Théorique et Pratique de Musique", published in 1872 by J. Frédéric Giraud,
describes a six-key French flageolet as the "Systéme Bousquet" so he may have
been involved in the development of this type of instrument.
Beyond this, very little is known about
Bousquet and he does not appear in any of the usual sources for information
about 19th Century French musicians.
