Elgar Enigma Variations excerpt: Var. XII Andante

The Overture to 'L'Auteur mort et vivant' (The Author Dead and Alive) by Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833), first presented at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 18 December 1820. A popular composer during his short life, Hérold is mostly remembered for his contributions to the development of ballet music - in particular his ballet 'La Fille mal gardé' - and the overture to the opera 'Zampa'. World premiere recording. Orchestral realization created using Finale 27 and NotePerformer 4. Transcribed from the orchestral score, ca.1820.

Ferdinand Hérold: L'Auteur mort et vivant (1820) – Ouverture

This orchestral piece is inspired by the fairytale motif of the devil.

In this excerpt, the devil emerges from a cloud of smoke—dark, dramatic, yet still part of a magical, fairytale world.

Fairytales hold a unique power that often reveals itself fully only in adulthood. They speak of the eternal battle between good and evil, of courage, hope, and justice.

“The Devil” is a musical tribute to these timeless stories—their imagination, symbolism, and the enduring message that good always triumphs over evil.

Instrumentation: Full symphony orchestra

Genre: Contemporary classical / programmatic music / fairytale-inspired
