Died August 13, 1912. | Another distinguished product of the Paris | Conservatoire, and born at Montaud, Massenet | own the Prix de Rome in 1863 with his opera, David | Rizzio. It has been said, truly, that "the theme of | Love pervades all his works." He bowed to the appeal | of the "eternal feminine." Rejected at first by Bazin | as lacking talent, he progressed steadily from a player | in small cafes to become one of the foremost figures in | French music. His first lessons were from his mother, | but he profited much from his studies with Ambroise | Thomas (famous operatic composer). After his father's | death, he played the "kettle-drums" in the Théatre | Lyrique (Paris) for fifty cents a night, but found time | to score a "Mass" by Adam for military band. |; His first songs were published in 1868, when attacks by | the French critic, Albert Wolff, did him more good than | harm; moreover, he gained the admiration of Tschai- | kowsky. His first grand opera, Hérodiade, was produced | in Brussels; it is the very antithesis of Oscar Wilde's | Salome. Thaïs (1894) still holds the stage: a poetic and | beautiful work, famous for its Meditation (violin solo, | with harp and strings). Massenet was fortunate in his | prima donnas: Sybil Sanderson, Emma Calvé, Mary | Garden, and others. Modest, he never attended "first | performances." As a Professor of Composition he was ideal. |; ; From "Elegie" (gedruckt, Rückseite)
