Excerpt from French Music of to-Day
The untiring activities of M. G. Jean-aubry in fostering international amenities in literary, artistic, and musical circles have made his name familiar not only in France and England, but throughout Western Europe. The official mission with which he has recently been entrusted by the French Government is no more than a just recognition of a course of action upon which he had already been privately engaged for many years, and which he would doubtless have continued Without such recognition. Primarily his mission has been to spread the knowledge of French achievements in these spheres not only abroad but at home, for even Frenchmen were at first slow to realise the im portance of the rejuvenation that had taken place in all the arts during the concluding decades of the nineteenth century. But the same curiosity that led him to the study of recent French achievements was bound eventually to extend itself to correspond ing movements in other countries with which his missionary work had brought him into relations. He thus became a sympathetic student first of our poets and then of our musicians, and he is an enthusiastic advocate, not only of contemporary French com posers, but of those English, Spanish, and Italian composers whose works place them in the vanguard of present-day music.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the recent surge in French music and its triumphant rise from the ashes of the once-dominant German musical empire. The author explores the profound impact of French revolutionaries such as Debussy, Ravel, and Roussel, who rejected the complex orchestrations of German composers and embraced a more subtle, nuanced, and uniquely Gallic style. Their works reflected the tumultuous pre-war era, oscillating between joy and melancholy, reflecting French society's fervor and anxieties. Despite the war's devastating effects, French music emerged stronger than ever, showcasing the resilience and enduring influence of French culture.
