Jules
Massenet taught composition at the Paris Conservatory and was the leading
composer of French opera in the mid-nineteenth century. His music is admired
for its lyricism, sensuality, and sentimentality. The Meditation is an
interlude toward the end of Massenet's opera Thaïs. This
well-loved theme, written for violin, is performed on almost every conceivable
instrument. K. DeJongh
