Ravel, Maurice
Joseph-Maurice Ravel (1875 – 1937) was a French composer and pianist of Impressionist music known especially for the subtlety, richness, and poignancy of his melodies, orchestral and instrumental textures and effects. Much of his piano music, chamber music, vocal music and orchestral music have become staples of the concert repertoire. Ravel's piano compositions, such as Jeux d'eau, Miroirs and Gaspard de la Nuit, demand considerable virtuosity from the performer, and his orchestral music, including Daphnis et Chloé and his arrangement of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, uses tonal color and variety of sound and instrumentation very effectively.
Ravel is perhaps best known for his orchestral work, Boléro, which he considered trivial and once described as "a piece for orchestra without music." According to SACEM, Ravel's estate earns more royalties than that of any other French musician. According to international copyright law, Ravel's works are public domain since January 1, 2008 in most countries. In France, due to anomalous copyright law extensions to account for the two world wars, they will not enter the public domain until 2015.
Evokes the dignified elegance of a reception at the royal Spanish court as a young princess moves gracefully through the steps of the Pavane, a slow processional dance that enjoyed great popularity in the courts of Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Instrumental, Classical Music, Romantic Period, Maurice Ravel
Featuring a small chamber group, this musical arrangement of Ravel's Sonatine is ideal for historical dramas and romance scenarios. Varied orchestral colors and some deviation of tempo with some short pauses. Very French! Instrumental, European Music, French Music, Maurice Ravel
Recognisable classical phrases from Ravel's Bollero mixed with electronic contemporary dance beat. Cool percussion section with an ethnic touch, pulsing bass drums and a funky afro bass line. Instrumental, Dance Music, Experimental, Maurice Ravel
Graceful, elegant and somber piano rendition, perfect for tributes to, well, unfortunate babies, princesses, kings and royalty in general. Ideal for heart-tugging scenes of mourning, despair and quiet contemplation. Also known as "Pavane For a Dead Princess". Instrumental, Classical Music, Modern Period, Maurice Ravel
