Auguste Vaucorbeil 1821 - 1884

[kolaboy]

Came across this gentleman in a collection of Massenet's published letters. Seems to have been primarily a composer of art songs, but I see from Wikipedia that there are three operas, some sacred works, and a smattering of keyboard and chamber compositions. I was hoping for a taste on youtube, but so far, nada.

Works for the stage:

Bataille d'amour
La Mort de Diane
Mahomet

I first (and mostly only) ran into him because of this string quartet set of parts. (IMSLP also has the vocal score of Bataille d'amour, and a few other works.)
