In Op. 1, Marcel Dupré presents an early masterpiece: a ballad about the Normans based on a text by his uncle, Henri Dupré. Composed in 1911, the piece captivates audiences with its rapid shifts in mood, rich tonal colours and youthful vigour, making it ideal for choirs who enjoy dramatic storytelling.
The original version is scored for choir and orchestra, but Tobias A. Frank has transcribed the orchestral part for piano duet.
This first edition includes a foreword and work information in German, English, and French.
