| Added by magataganm, 23 Mar 2012 Jules Émile Frédéric Massenet was a French composer lived from May 12, 1842 ? August 13, 1912 and is best known for his operas. His compositions were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and he ranks as one of the greatest melodists of his era. Soon after his death, Massenet's style went out of fashion, and many of his operas fell into almost total oblivion. Apart from Manon and Werther, his works were rarely performed. However, since the mid-1970s, many of his operas such as Thaïs (pronounced tah-eess / ta:'i:s) and Esclarmonde have undergone periodic revivals. Thaïs was created as an opera in three acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Louis Gallet based on the novel Thaïs by Anatole France. It was first performed at the Opéra Garnier in Paris on 16 March 1894, starring the American soprano Sybil Sanderson, for whom Massenet had written the title role. This famous "Méditation", the entr'acte for violin and orchestra played between the scenes of Act II, is an oft-performed concert music piece; it has been arranged for many different instruments as with the flute and piano here.
