' The Two Grenadiers ' embodies the spirit of Napoleonic glory. Two of Napoleon's soldiers are finding their way back from the disastrous Russian campaign. They reach the frontier of France, and learn, to their bitter sorrow, that their Emperor is captured. 
Note how, at the end, as the soldier speaker's imagination is fired, the music leaves the minor key and goes into the major for the rest of the piece, the excitement at last culminating in a snatch from the ' Marseillaise '.   
A brilliant student of the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied the viola and composition, Eric Coates soon   found himself in the front rank of players, and was for some years principal viola of the Queen's Hall Orchestra. 
He was a distinguished chamber music player, too. While still a member of the Queen's Hall Orchestra he had a good deal of his own orchestral music produced at the Promenade and other concerts. 
Since 1919 Coates has practically given up playing, and devoted himself to composition. Much of his music is in a lighthearted vein, graceful and melodious, and all marked by thoroughly sound workmanship. 
Henri Pierni was born in 1863 and studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he carried off the first prizes for piano, organ, counterpoint and fugue. In 1882 he gained the Prix de Rome with his opera Edith. In 1890 Pierni succeeded Cesar Franck as organist at Saint Clotilde, and in 1903 was appointed deputy conductor of the Concerts Colonne. On the death of Colonne seven years later he became chief conductor. 
Pierné's academic career has been no less distinguished, for he is a member of the directing committee of studies at the Conservatoire, and since 1925 has been a member of the Académie des Beaux Arts. His compositions are many and varied-from operas and ballets to chamber music and short salon pieces in the style of 'Sérénade a Columbine'.
