Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRUNEAU, ALFRED (1857 ) ,
French
  musical composer, was
born
  in Paris. His parents were devoted to music, and he was brought up to play the 'cello, being educated at the Paris Conservatoire. He played in
Pasdeloup
 's orchestra, and soon began to compose, writing a
cantata
 , Genevieve de Paris, at an early age. In 1884 his Ouverture heroique was performed, followed by the choral symphonies, Leda (1884), La Belle an bois dormant (1886). and Penthesilee. But he is best known as a dramatic composer. In 1887 his first
opera
 , Kerim, was produced; and in 1891 his successful
opera
  Le Reeve, with a libretto founded on
Zola
 's story. Another subject from
Zola
  resulted in the opera L'Attaque du moulin (1893), and libretti by Zola himself were written for his next operas Messidor (1897) and L'Ouragan (1901). Among Bruneau's other works may be mentioned his Requiem (1896), and his two collections of songs, Lieds de
France
  and Chansons a dancer. He was decorated with the
Legion
  of Honour in 1895. His musical criticisms, published in several volumes, are remarkable for literary quality and vigour.
See Arthur Hervey's volume on Bruneau (1907).
