He made a choral arrangement of an organ piece, then tricked critics by passing it off as the work of the imaginary17th century composer Ducre, before Âfinally incorporating that piece, "The Shepherd's Farewell," into the "Flight into Egypt"section of an oratorio.
In one of this composer's pieces, the orchestra uses a fugal style to weave around voices which constantly repeat the three notephrase A, B-flat, A, in the seventh movement, after which trombones, flutes, and male voices dominate the "Hostias"movement. He made a choral arrangement of an organ piece, then tricked critics by passing it off as the work of the imaginary17th century composer Ducre, before Âfinally incorporating that piece, "The Shepherd's Farewell," into the "Flight into Egypt"section of an oratorio. This composer instructed timpanis to play sextuplets in thirds at the start of a movement with a singlefortissimo G major chord, in a composition in which four bassoons and two tubas join to play a parody of the Dies irae. Acor anglais and an offstage oboe trade melodies, imitating shepherds, in that piece by him, in which a solo clarinet theme inthe fourth movement represents a man's last conscious thought before the drop of a guillotine. For 10 points, name this composerof L'enfance du Christ, who used four offstage brass bands in his Requiem, and included a "March to the Scaffold" inhis Symphonie Fantastique.
