ODELETTE for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 162, composed by Camille Saint-Sa�ns (1835-1921) in the last year of his life, refers to the secular variety of the ode, an ancient Greek poetic form praising a person or event. Paying homage to the development of the form as it appears throughout the Renaissance, the work makes use of trochaic rhythms and strophic breaks. Dedicated to Fran�ois Galliard, it premiered in September 1920 with Gaston Blanquard performing the solo part and Arnold Fert� conducting. The composer also produced a reduction of the work for flute and piano. Instrumentation: Solo Flute: 0.2.0.2: 0.0.0.0: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set).
Instrument: Full Orchestra
Medium: Conductor Score
