| Added by magataganm, 13 May 2012 The French composer Charles Camille Saint-Saëns was born Oct. 9, 1835 in Paris, France and died Dec. 16, 1921 in Algiers. Astonishingly gifted from childhood, with a phenomenal memory (at his debut piano recital at age 11, he offered to play any Beethoven sonata without music), he became a darling of the salons and a celebrated improviser. To promote new music by French composers, he founded the Socit Nationale de Musique in 1871. His compositions are often brilliant in their effects but not always profound. He soon came to the notice - and earned the admiration of - such eminent composers as Charles Gounod, Gioacchino Rossini, Hector Berlioz, and Franz Liszt. He was appointed organist at the Madeleine (1857-1875), and taught at the École Niedermeyer from 1861 to 1865, Gabriel Fauré being one of his pupils. Although this piece was originally composed for solo Piano, I created this arrangement for concert harp solo performance because of it's beautiful arpeggiated passages.
