This melody has been in my head for at least a month after only hearing this work once. Now I feel obligated to come back and have another listen. Definitely memorable and beautiful.
I just love this piece. My niece, who played piano a s a child and teenager, once became bored of piano lessons and than I showed her this video and she was so delighted that she immediately started to study it. And what shall I say: she made it and continued with her lessons several years. Thank you so much, it's so beautiful.
I can't project how much this scrumptious piece of romantic music means to me. When I hear it I instantly feel uplifted and like I can walk again - it reminds me of better days. Days of dancing in the rain to Chaminade's great works. The feeling I get must be like when the youths look at the 'memes' !! Oh frabjous day callooh callay - utterly charming as I think Arthur Birling once said
this comment means so much to me, it perfectly captures how i feel about this beautiful, marvellous piece. you truly made my day, i raise my glass to you!
This is a wonderful piece! Pianists who champion the cause of discovering and sharing with the public quality works like this should be highly praised.
@naremconscendit I'm glad you like it! :) It's not from a CD, but from a non-commercial radio broadcast from a live recital at Amsterdam. However I posted another track from there you may also like, Dukas' epic Piano Sonata (it's also posted with score scrolling).
It's always such a heroic moment when the them returns. This piece is as much fun to play as it is to hear. Now if I could only play it as well as Hamelin.
Both Chaminade's music and that of Moskowski seems to have been composed with both the pianist and listener in mind; Ponti once remarked that Moskowski fits like a pianist's glove. A real beauty and Hamelin seems a little more better recorded than Jacobs in this one. Let's hope that Hamelin puts out a complete disc of Chaminade soonest...
Nel 2007 sono andato al Cimitero di Montecarlo per omaggio a Chaminade ma dai registri risultava esumata dal 1984, nessuno ha più pagato...dimenticata da tutti. Alfredo
It's amazing what happens when a musician scrupulously follows the composer's indications in the score: Hamelin plays MINUTE 03:39 fortissimo, as indicated, and it's very strong and proper in expression, even though it's a simple chorale. It could be that he's the only pianist featured in this piece who CAN play the piece generally as indicated by the composer.
Fabulous. The theme reminds me for some reason of Tchaikovsky's "Laura's Theme"? No? Hamelin is a wizard at the keyboard and everything he touches is musical gold.
The orchestral arrangement of Chaminade's "Autumn" is incredibly beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. tidido.com/a35184374792095/al56011c59e7c622686a77bcdb/t56011c5ae7c622686a77bd75

+Ken Breadner Cat Stevens did not compose "Morning Has Broken" which is an old Scottish tune called "Bunessan". The lyrics were written in 1931 by Eleanor Farjeon, a poet and children's author. Cat Steven recorded a cover version in 1971.
I'll avoid generalizing, as it seems we both value people being to the point, and thus ask where you are from feeling content to go with the "you stupid/idiotic Americans" line. What is the harm in asking if others share my opinion? What if it was just me with this thought? Do I not have the right to ask? In your opinion, which you seem willing to express, does this sound like Alkan to you?
I'm curious if this is an Original theme of Chaminade's or taken from some other source - or used by Chaminade in another work. It sounds very familiar.
Exactly! I can swear I'm almost remembering another, much more popular, maybe even classical, maybe even piano composition with that progression at 0:50. Shame I can't, though. It's I IV V iii vi ii V I in A / shortchord.org/UlRRx (the penultimate chord and/or inversions may and will not be accurate). Wikipedia has something very similar: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi%E2%80%93ii%E2%80%93V%E2%80%93I Schubert's Op 90 no 2 has a similar movement, but it's definitely not it from the melodical sense: czcams.com/video/pGbh_oAwuOE/video.html
+Eurisko Lontano To me, it bears a striking resemblance to many of Francois Poulenc's compositions...although it would seem that this was written the year before Poulenc was born, so perhaps he took inspiration from her.
She met George Bizet in her early years, a friend and neighbor to Chaminade’s father (in Le Vésinet) who was himself a wealthy CEO to a French insurance company. Bizet incidentally heard little girl Cécile, and she soon was introduced to Emmanuel Chabrier who then insisted that she belonged with the Paris Conservatoire, the sooner, the better. But her father strongly refused, stating that the Conservatoire was no place for a lady. She then took private lessons carefully watched by Bizet himself, and those mentioned here. In my opinion (and even though St-Saëns and Le Couppey took care of her talent too), Chabrier must have made her a great impression and remains the closest to her art, and her main influence. Nothing but Chabrier’s piano works reminds me more of Chaminade’s impressive creation.

3:42 That sudden dynamic change...beautiful beyond words.

very nice melody yes

@@jazzyanderton5190 you know you made the comment right
I adore both - Chaminade and Hamelin
What a wonderful piece of piano music! I am so impressed!
This is a wonderful piece! Pianists who champion the cause of discovering and sharing with the public quality works like this should be highly praised.
Breathtaking, like those of a morning breeze blowing through the window-listening to the early songbirds sing.
Brano fantastico!!! 😮❤👏👏👏🔝 Suonato magistralmente, non sembrava nemmeno umano! 😅 Bravissimo Hamelin!!! Lo studio subito! 💖🤩
Leave it to Hamelin to reveal this little jewel. i'd never heard of it before.
Beautiful piece I can’t stop hearing. It’s a magic melody

Seems music of a (virtual) Schubert's daughter or niece having left Vienna to study in Paris.... So delightful...
This is a beautiful piece. It would make a great encore.

Sparkling playing. Wow!
Absolutely gorgeous
Saved my day. Can't get enough of this airy tune.
Absolutely stunning
Yes!
Wonderful! I love this. It goes right away on my favourites list. Thak you so much.

Love this composer. .and man enough to say...
would be ? 'courageous' to say...? if you were woman?
This is lovely! Thanks for the upload.
Amazing music! And so wonderfully played.

Absolutely beautiful!!!
wonderful , thanks for sharing !
Very sweet :)
Refreshing like a cool breeze on an Autumn day!
superbe interprétation, quelle précision, et quel son !
Hermosísimo!!!! Gracias!
Questo è veramente una bella interpretazione di un bellissimo pezzo.... Mi piace molto
Excelente melodía! Técnica depurada. Felicitaciones!!!
Fabulous. The theme reminds me for some reason of Tchaikovsky's "Laura's Theme"? No? Hamelin is a wizard at the keyboard and everything he touches is musical gold.
una piacevole scoperta
veramente fantastica
très délicat...vraiment douée d'une veine mélodique enviable...
A very pleasant piece.
Charles Trenet must have had this charmer in mind when he composed Le Jardin Extraordinaire.
MAGNIFIQUE !!!!
Eurisko Lontano: It is indeed an original theme by Cecile Chaminade.
Quel charme, quelle tendresse!
Cette magnifique musique me fait parfois penser au style de Granados
love it =D
Now I can live another day. merci inf. von MI
Brava Cecile Chaminade!!!
what a lovely miniature
Chaminade is one of those beautiful romantic composers. Her melodies were like ahead of their time.
Learning this song is easy, learning to play it like this wonderful pianist did, is hard...
Гениально!!! Волшебно!!!
Someone needs to arrange thispiece for an orchestra, it would be amazing if someone did
The orchestral arrangement of Chaminade's "Autumn" is incredibly beautiful, absolutely breathtaking.

Interesting idea... 🧐🧐🧐 I think it would sound pretty, too.
No. It is perfect as is.
5 years late but I did it 2 years ago.

This is an earworm if ever I heard one. I wonder if Cat Stevens heard this at some point before composing 'Morning Has Broken'....
Ken Breadner I agree, it's just so familiar...

MooPotPie Thank you for that!
@@MooPotPie Also the famous intro and piano flourishes are by Rick Wakeman who was asked to improvise something like his piece "Catherine Howard"
Awesome simply awesome and who in the world coughed
Lo encontré!!!!! 🇲🇽 😃🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
un motivo bellissimo: si percepisce l'animo e la sensibilità femminile!
Addiction...that actually might explain your musical posturing's...
is it just me or does 2:56 sound like something Alkan would write? such a nice piece!
it is like scherzo focoso.
Alkan is great.
Joseph Florentine actually the whole piece from 2:00 on
very "alkanic" composing.

In your opinion, which you seem willing to express, does this sound like Alkan to you?
YES
This is beautiful! What CD is it from, if I may ask?
I love this variation...is it possible to find the music somewhere...I've been looking.
i never heard of this composer but he's good
She: Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944)
Perhaps if people thought and acted the way this music sounds, we could find reason and happiness.
YAS
This piece reminds me of alkan
@iiHusky hahaha, believe me or not, that s' exactly what i was thinking, i want to learn it too right after finishing the nocturne :)
It reminds me of some film score.... or is it only because it uses a harmonic series typical of French music?
😍🎹🎵🎶🎵🎶👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷💖
如何にもアルカンっぽい作品ですね。シャミナード女性作曲家...まだまだ知らない作曲家が多いなぁ

Was she been possessed by liszt when she compose this?
@2hyeok *She* is good ;)
Amsterdam... many good pianists from Amsterdam, or they are broadcast it mostly from Amsterdam.
hahaha, Canadian!
It's beautiful piece, and Hamelin plays this kind of thing perfectly. However, it's not a Theme and Variations. Surely Cécile knew that?
Most as in beginners? Well I do not really know, but it was fairly easy to me... I guess everyone has their own ideas. : )
@madlovba3 oh
1:51 Why there's always someone coughing?
typical in the NL...or jealous pianist?
🎹✨🎹✨🎹🎶🎶🎶🎶🫧♾️💛🌖🧡🫶🏼🙏🏼
some ave maria in here
Too short. :(
what does it mean ???
I meant the composition could have gone on for a while longer. Ended too quickly.
but do you like it ?
Naturally, I wanted more, didn't I?
Technically perfect but no heart
Ugh. An utterly unispired piece. But of course, it's Chaminade, so no expectations.
It is a piece of confection. Not everything needs to be the Hammerklavier.
