	Albert Roussel Summary
		Albert Roussel was born in Tourcoing, a town close to the Belgian border, where his grandfather was mayor.
		Igor Stravinsky was the chief exponent of neoclassicism, and Roussel was one of its principal exponents.
		Roussel was also interested in jazz, and wrote a piano-vocal composition entitled Jazz dans la nuit, which makes an interesting contrast to some of the other jazz-inspired compositions by French composers at the same time (compare it, for example, with the second movement of the Ravel Violin Sonata, or Darius Milhaud's La Creation du Monde).

	ROUSSEL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Albert-Chalres-Paul-Marie Roussel (1869 - 1937) was one of the leading French composers of the era after World War I. He wrote in various styles and his work is notable for its lyrical fervour, austerity of technique, and harmonic audacity.
		Roussel's music is impressionistic in its color and poetic allusion, but in its formal design and clarity it reflects the neoclassicism of the Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky.
		Roussel's mature style, employing both the modal harmonies of Oriental music and the dissonances of the contemporary idiom, is a reaction against French Impressionism as well as against the chromaticism of Franck.

		Albert Roussel, a leading figure in French music during the years between the World Wars, was orphaned at an early age and raised first by his grandfather, the mayor of his native town of Tourcoing, at the Belgian border thirty miles from the North Sea, and later by a maternal aunt.
		Roussel was appointed to teach the counterpoint class at the Schola beginning in 1902, and he remained in that post for the next dozen years; Eric Satie and Edgar Varèse were among his pupils.
		Roussel’s life-long interest in music education was reflected in the composition that he left unfinished at his death, in 1937: a large theatrical piece involving workers’ choral groups.

	Roussel, Resurrection. Op. 4
		At the age of 25, Albert Roussel (1869-1937) left a promising career in the Navy to study music at Vincent d'Indy's Schola Cantorum.
		Roussel became one of the most significant composers in France between the world wars, celebrated especially for his symphonies and ballets.
		At the same time, Roussel combines these received procedures with elements of musical impressionism; in particular, the composer manipulates his material by varied repetition rather than systematic fragmentation and development.

	1/4/00: Film Score Alternative
		Roussel, like many composers this century, dabbled in musical impressionism before turning towards neo-classicism but unlike many musicians he never subscribed to a school of thought and his work remained largely individualistic.
		Roussel score attempts to create the drama and emotions of the small world but from the perspective of a detached observer.
		Roussel then describes a series of dramatic episodes in which several creature characters - clumsy worms, two ponderously ferocious mantises, an innocent butterfly and a mayfly - enter the scene in turn and are lured by the spider into his web where he kills them and celebrates his victory with a self-satisfied dance.

		Like Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Albert Roussel started life as a sailor and turned to music only after reaching adulthood.
		(He finished his studies at the age of 38!) Despite this late start, all of Roussel's work is characterized by solid craftsmanship that was influenced by Claude Debussy's impressionism in his early works and by neo-classicism in his later works.
		Roussel was probably the dominant French composer of the inter-war era.

	Wat is er met Albert Roussel gebeurd?
		Intussen had Roussel wel belangstelling voor muziek, had zelfs allerlei lessen gevolgd en besloot in 1894 zijn varende carrière voor de muziek te verruilen.
		Van een klassieke invloed is in het Concertino voor cello en orkest uit 1936 ook in zekere mate sprake.
		In het geval van Roussel lijkt de zeef van de tijd toch een beetje verstopt te zijn geweest toen zijn muziek werd 'gewogen'.

	Bacchus et Ariane, Op. 43
		Unlike Debussy and Ravel, who became known in their twenties, Roussel was a late bloomer.
		Although he did compose a bit in his youth, he did not develop his own style until about the time of Debussy's death (1918), by which time he himself was nearly 50, and most of his important works were composed in the last dozen years of his life.
		It is interesting beyond mere coincidence that these masterworks of both Ravel and Roussel are ballets based on legends from Greek antiquity, for underlying each of these composers' individual and forward-looking style was a strict and extremely self-critical discipline based on classical principles.

		The turn-of-the-century composer Albert Roussel wrote an intriguing corpus of chamber music with flute.
		The works for this instrument all date from his mature period of composition when his music was both economical and expressive.
		Roussel's music contains several strands of French tradition: a neo-classic impulse towards formal structure, fascination with foreign, specifically Asian musical traditions (Indian, Javanese, Japanese) and their exotic rapport with French music, and the lighthearted, relatively popular boulevard and café music of casual enjoyment.

		Much of Roussel's work begins with detailed, intimate imagery and experiences, like the humor of an insect ballet in Le Festin d'Araignée or ancient dances in the tuneful and rhythmic Suite in F; but then he expands the music to vast seascapes or dramatic encounters.
		Roussel, like his fellow impressionists Debussy and Ravel, is able to build rich orchestrations from seed fragments that seem to grow and occupy intersecting planes of sound, as in the Symphony no. 3 and the Rapsodie flamande.

		The big climactic outburst at 3.04 has a terrifying impact, and even the ragged ensemble that follows does not dim the effect.
		The slow movement’s long-breathed opening melody, deliciously angular and plangent, suffers a little from the sour French oboe tone, though ironically this may well have been the sort of sound Roussel had in his mind as he wrote it.
		I love Munch’s shaping of the little treading, Stravinskian ostinato at 2.59, though again playing is not as tight as one would like.
