Maurice Ravel (1875
-1937)
Ravel was born in the
Basque region of France and much of his work shows a Spanish
influence (this, together with his interest in jazz has produced some
exceptional guitar transcriptions). He was a pupil of Faure and at
first fell, like many contemporary composers, under Debussy's spell.
However, his ascetic and intellectual bents produced from the start a
refinement of composition and orchestration, and development of
melody, all his own. Later music shows a fondness for the rhythmic
features of jazz, and thoughtful incorporation of the innovations of
modern music strong dissonance, atonality etc.
Piece en Forme de
Habenera is from the 'Rapsodie espagnole', written for orchestra in
1907. Habenera is a Cuban dance that came to Spain in the mid-19th
century and named after Havana (Habana).
