Publics Favourite Composer Is Back earthatic 2009-07-12 | Hello Youtubers, this is Earthatic here. Im not sure if you remember but as my 100th video I did a video called The Publics Favourite Composers. It went down quite well, I think. Not too many people voted, so it was difficult to get a conclusive result. I am planning to carry out this survey again, but there will be a few changes. These are: 1.100 composers will be featured instead of 25. 2.Based on the result of the vote I plan to make a series of around 20 videos instead of just one. I have met more people on Youtube, I have more friends and subscribers than I did when the first edition of the Publics Favourite Composer was uploaded back in October 2008. So hopefully more people will be voting. It would be interesting to see how the composers in the listings change. The method of voting is pretty much going to be the same, all you need to do is post a comment on the video, post a comment on my channel. But the way that would suit me most is if you send it in a personal message to me. The last votes will be taken on the 18th August 2009 so make sure your votes are in by then! Please do vote, I do need as many votes as possible. You are allowed to vote for three different composers. The videos will start coming out soon after the voting ends. They will contain excerpts from the composers voted in the Top 100, from 100 to 1. Please do share this video with any one that you know who would be interested! Remember to vote by 18th August 2009! Best Wishes Earthatic

Little Known Composers - Albert Roussel earthatic 2009-04-29 | Infomation copied from www.classical-composers.org/comp/roussel Albert Charles Paul Marie Roussel was born at Tourcoing in northern France, otherwise known as French Flanders, on 5 April 1869, the only child of wealthy French industrialists who specialised mostly in textiles. The child was named after his father who died of consumption shortly after his birth. The young widow, Louise, whose maiden name was also Roussel, never recovered from this loss and she died in 1877. Although she lavished her son with love and attention and he was devoted to her, her broken heart could not be repaired. The boy was brought up by his grandfather, Charles Roussel-Defontaine, who was mayor of Tourcoing. Later, young Alberts aunt married Felix Requillard and Albert was brought up by him, his grandfather having died in 1880 when Albert was eleven. In 1884 he entered the College Stanislas in Paris training to become Naval officer and specialising in the study of mathematics. He always loved the sea since his early visits to the seaside resort in Belgium. While serving on these ships he began to compose. So promising were his first attempts that a fellow musical officer, Calve, the brother of a famous opera singer, suggested that Roussel show them to Edouard Colonne and the director of the Conservatory of Roubaix. The verdict was favourable and so Roussel resigned his commission from the Navy and went to Paris to study with Eugène Gigout. Roussels first success were Two Madrigals for four voices which won the prize from the Societe des Compositeurs in 1898. In 1908 he married Blanche Preisach and went on an extended tour to Cochin-China and India which travels inspired his Evocations Op. 15 and Padmavati, an opera ballet in two acts, Op. 28, completed in 1918. During World War One Roussel served with the Red Cross having been turned down for combat duty owing to ill-health. He was a transport driver both at Verdun and the battle of the Somme which greatly distressed him. In 1920 he purchased a delightful villa at Saint-Marguerite-sur-la-Mer near Varengeville and spent most of the rest of his life there quietly with his wife. The Piano Concerto, Op. 36 dates from 1927. It has been subject to unfair criticism being described as melodic nullity and that, at sixteen minutes, it is too short to be a concerto! Surprisingly his favourite composers were Bach and Chopin, whose music he often played first thing in the morning. Another leisure pursuit was tackling mathematical problems. The rest of the morning would involve composition and his afternoons usually meant long walks by the sea. He was an extraordinarily pleasant and kind man, very cultured but sometimes a little aloof. In 1930 Paris honoured him by holding a Musical Festival in Paris mainly devoted to his music. His setting of Psalm 80 was given in London at The Queens Hall on 28 July 1931 and the previous year he travelled to Boston for the premiere of his Symphony no. 3 in G minor, Op. 42, commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which I have no hesitation in saying is an unqualified masterpiece and the greatest French symphony written to date. The Symphony no. 4 in A, Op. 53 dates from 1934. The symphony is dedicated to Albert Wolff. One critic wrote of this splendid piece, Happy the man who can produce works like this that will last as long as men appreciate beauty. In the 1930s he composed two sumptuous ballet scores, Bacchus and Ariane (1930) and Aeneas (1936). There are also some choice chamber works of the very highest quality, namely the luscious Serenade for flute, string trio and harp (1925), the delightful Trio for flute viola and cello (1929), the String Quartet, which Michael Kennedy dates at 1832!, and the enchanting String Trio of 1937. Roussel was warned by his doctor to rest after a serious angina attack in the summer of 1936. He eventually went to Royan in the south west of France but on 13 August, 1937 he suffered a heart attack and was confined to his bed. His Trio for clarinet, oboe and bassoon will never be completed. On 23 August shortly before four oclock in the afternoon he died. His first love was the sea. He was an orphan, a sailor, husband, ambulance driver, professor, composer and one of that rare breed, a really nice guy! He is buried near his country house at Varengeville. His grave rightly overlooks the sea.
