Product description
Rhené-Baton - actually, René Baton - was both a conductor (of for example the Concerts Lamoureux, the Concerts Pasdeloup, and the Opéra Comique in Paris) and a composer. As a composer he left behind a varied oeuvre that is distinguished by its inventive harmonic colouring and the touches of rhythmic and structural innovation. His Passacaille pour Flûte et Orchestra (ou Piano) op. 35 is one of the many compositions dedicated to Louis Fleury. With the Passacaille Rhené-Baton took his place amongst many twentieth-century composers who showed an interest in the old dance forms; among them Franck, Ravel and Reger. The passacaille is generally grouped together with the chaconne, both being in ternary meters and bearing strong similarities in form and character. The passacaille, however, is only a dance while the chaconne is simultaneously sung and danced. The most important distinction between the two, however, is that the chaconne is composed on a continuously repeated bass theme of usually four or eight bars; in the passacaille only the rhythm of this (often a minim followed by a crotchet) is retained. Furthermore, the passacaille is less often animated then the chaconne and is usually composed in a minor key - f minor in Rhené-Baton’s composition.
