In 1835, when Saint-Saens was born, Beethoven, whose later works were then considered the last word in modernity, had been dead eight years. When Saint-Saens died, in 1921, Alban Berg had just completed Wozzeck. Thus the French composer lived to see the full cycle of the Romantic movement which connects Berg with Beethoven.
Romain Rolland, the distinguished
French critic and author, Has said that Saint-Saens ' is tormented by no passions and nothing perturbs the lucidity of his mind. At times his music seems to carry us back to Mendelssohn, to Spontini, to the school of Gluck. He brings into the midst of our present restlessness something of the sweetness and clarity of past periods, something that seems like fragments of a vanished world '.

Most countries have their own legends of the Accursed Huntsman who is condemned to ride for ever through the night as a punishment for some awful misdeed on earth. The original Wild Huntsman was Orion, but we meet him everywhere -in the North of Scotland, in Yorkshire, and in many parts of Europe.
Cesar Franck's music is based on the German version of the legend. There are four scenes: the peace of Sunday morning with its joyful chants and bells pealing ; the Hunt ; the Count deserted by his followers, and the dreadful voice which condemns him for his sacrilege ; and the terrible hunting which has no end.

Antoni Soler was a distinguished Catalan composer. Son of a military bandmaster, he was born near Tarragona in 1729 and died in 1783. In 1752 he went to the Escorial as organist of the monastery, and shortly afterwards he took his vows. He wrote an important treatise on modulation and a tract on currency exchange between Castile and Catalonia. He even invented an instrument to show the division of the scale into equal temperament and into various small intervals.
