 French culture | music | events | Opera Francais de New York Zampa | Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1832) was a versatile composer, impresario, maestro di cembalo, vocal coach, and author of the long forgotten operas like La clochette, Le muletier, and La pré aux clercs, as well as the ballets La sonnambule and La fille mal gardée.
In an odd twist, the concert performance was "directed and narrated" by Alexander Hérold, a descendant of the composer.
Alexander dressed up as his ancestor Ferdinand and replaced the original dialogue with "humorous" running commentary on the opera's history, plot and reception.

 Notes on Herold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Louis Joseph Ferdinand Herold was of Alsatian descent and the son of a composer and pianist.
He studied piano with his father and piano and violin at the Paris Conservatory and became a leading composer of comic opera.
In spite of his popularity during his lifetime and the graceful and charming traits of his music, his work is rarely heard today - the often played Overture to his opera Zampa being the lone exceptions.

Not that it is unexpected for the time period--in fact one might expect the influence of Hummel to be heavy in piano concertos written in the first thirty or so years of the 19th century.
No, the surprise is that Ferdinand Ries, whom even his teacher, Beethoven, said sounded too much like him, here doesn't sound very much like old Ludwig.
Suppe's Light Calvary and Poet and Peasant Overtures were absolutely grand, as were Daniel-Francois Auber's Fra Diavolo, Herold's Zampa, Reznicek's Donna Diana, Offenbachs Orpheus in the Underworld, and the magnificent William Tell Overture by Rossini.

I do not have much on this composer, if anyone can help out I would appreciate it.
I know of only the last two operas composed by Herold, Zampa and Le Pre-aux-Clercs, particularly the latter, which outrivalled Rossini's Comte Ory in success.
Herold died at the age of fourty-two, and with him any hopes for an early revival of French Opera.

Ferdinand Herold (1791-1833) is known today chiefly for the jaunty overtures to his operas, including Zampa (1831) and Le Pré aux Clercs (1832), but not the operas themselves.
His influences were Paisiello, Guglielmi, and Zingarelli, all composers of what's now known as light opera.

 An enjoyable frolic through the countryside - The Boston Globe
Boston Ballet's production of Ashton's exquisitely crafted homage to the English countryside hits all those notes -- and sends you home humming, with visions of not only happy peasants but exceedingly rhythmic chickens dancing in your head.
The story -- set to a score by Ferdinand Hérold that has been adapted and arranged by John Lanchbery -- is a simple one: The widow Simone, owner of a prosperous farm, wishes her daughter, Lise, to marry the doltish Alain, the son of a wealthy and pompous vineyard owner named Thomas.
But Lise has already found her match, in Colas, a handsome young farmer.

Premiered in Bordeaux two weeks before the storming of the Bastille, ‘La fille mal gardée’ is the only classic 18th-century ballet still in the repertoire today.
It was originally created by the choreographer Jean Dauberval, and 40 years later Louis-Joseph Ferdinand Hérold added new music, which until then had consisted only of arrangements of folk tunes.
In 1864 Peter Ludwig Hertel wrote more music when the ballet was presented with new choreography at the Royal Opera in Berlin.
