      Later Eighteenth Century French Composers, Vol. XV - Daniel Zimmermann

      Later Eighteenth Century French Composers, Vol. XV

      By Daniel Zimmermann

      Chapter 1

      Composers Born from 1750 to 1760

      Jean Balthasar Tricklir (1750-1813

      Tricklir was born in Dijon, but he spent most of his adult life in Germany. After studying in Mannheim, he eventually settled in Dresden, where he worked for the elector of Saxony. Except for trips to England and France, he remained in Dresden the rest of his life.

      He was a first-rate cellist and wrote excellent cello music. We currently may enjoy his Cello Concerto No. 6 in G-major.Its second movement is an adagio in which the cello seems to sing,

      Sometimes his cello music is characterized by vigorous exuberance. A good example of this is the first movement of his Concerto for Violoncello No. 4 in D major. Its third movement is a rhythmic rondo.

      He also wrote some interesting cello sonatas, especially his Cello Sonata in G major, Op. 1, No. 6.

      Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne (1751-1796)

      Lemoyne was born in Eymet, a French town about twenty-five miles south of Bergerac. It is currently located in the department of Dordogne.

      From 1770 to 1780, Lemoyne studied and worked in Berlin and in Poland. Among his teachers in Berlin was Johann Gottlieb Graun, one of the musicians of Frederick the Great.

      His debut as an opera composer occurred in Warsaw. Here he treated a Polish audience with an opera entitled Le Bouquet de Colette.

      Returning to France, he decided to work in Paris. At this time, a partisan battle was raging. Some liked the operas of Gluck; others preferred those of Nicolò Piccinni. So Lemoyne wrote an opera entitled Électre in the style of Gluck. When it failed, he decided to imitate Piccinni and Antonio Sacchini. The resultant works enjoyed a measure of success.

      He wrote a couple operas dealing with Egypt: Nephté and Louis IX en Égypte. The latter dealt with the unsuccessful invasion of Egypt undertaken by this Medieval French monarch during the thirteenth century. This expedition has become known as the Sixth Crusade.

      He also composed several comic operas, such as Les Prétendus and Les Pommiers et le Moulin.

      It is difficult to find online recordings of his music because a contemporary politician has the the same name as our composer. However, I did manage to find a couple excerpts from the opera Phèdre: Marche pour les Prêtessses and a scene in which a tempest sent by Neptune threatens to overwhelm Hippolitus, while Phaedra asks Neptune to spare him.

      Charles Broche (1752-1803)

      Charles was born in Rouen. He served as a choirboy in the cathedral and enjoyed the music instruction of Laurent Desmazures, the cathedral organist.

      After briefly serving as organist at a church in Lyons, he went to Bologna, where he studied
