“Born in
Paris in 1899, Francis
Poulenc soon became a
notable composer and
pianist. His Serenade,
originally composed in
1925-1926 for Voice and
Piano, met much success
as part of his Bawdy
Songs. Therefore, it was
well-received when
Maurice Gendron
transcribed it for Cello
and Piano. Poulenc, as a
member of Les Six,
composed music in a style
contrary to that of
Richard Wagner and
impressionists Claude
Debussy and Maurice
Ravel. Serenade reflects
the composer's
contrasting style, making
use of a 6/8 time
signature, double stops,
variations in
articulation and wide
range on the Cello. Being
an imaginative and
evocative composition,
Serenade, transcribed for
Cello and Piano, is a
pleasurable addition to
the repertoire.”.
