Sources and Studies in Music History from Antiquity to the Present vol.51
This revised, enhanced edition of the life and works of composer and Admiral
Jean Cras traces, through new research, the remarkable career of this
celebrated composer, decorated war hero, scientist and inventor. As Henri
Duparcs only protégé, his spiritual son enjoyed the same level of esteem
during the 1920s as his friends Ravel and Roussel. This edition sustains the
renaissance of Jean Cras and includes a new chapter devoted to the composers
early songs, to be released concurrently.
« Le Canadien Paul-André Bempéchat, est parfaitement francophone mais cest en
anglais quil rédige cette somme dédiée à Jean Cras Tout y est, sa carrière
marine, linventeur brilliant, lesthète pétri dhumanisme, le musicien dans
son oeuvre. Le portrait est vivant, Jean Cras se tient devant vous et tous
les secrets de son art subtil sont démontrés. »
Diapason
There is no doubt that, in subsequent studies of Jean Crass life and works,
this book will be the first source to which the researcher turns. Bempéchats
deft and skilful blending of a beautifully written and engaging biography
with lucid and erudite musical analysis, interspersed with tales of military
history and scientific discovery, has resulted in a book that is absolutely
engaging on its own, as it tells the life story of a most extraordinary man.
