OSCAR ARTHUR HONEGGER

10th March 1892 --- 27th November 1955

Oscar Arthur Honegger was  born in  1892 and  died on Novemeber  1955 in Paris,  Honegger is a composer  mostly  associated
with the modern movement in French music in  the first  half of  the 20th century,  he also made notable contributions to opera
like Antigone (1927) and Amphion (1931) as well as some others.

Honegger although he was born of Swiss parents he spent most of his life in France,  he studied first at the Zürich Conservatory
but a couple of years before the WW1 he move to France to study at the Paris Conservatory, while there he met other upcoming
young composers like Germaine Tailleferre and Louis Durey to name a few. Honegger had a strong personality which showed in
his compostions such as orchestral work Pacific 231 (1924), which was base on his impression of Railway Train in action, in the
1920's most of Honegger works  took on a austere,  dissonant,  and rhythmic style  of music,  if you listen  to some of  his works
from this  time for example  Summer Pastoral for chamber orchestra and his dramatic  oratorios such as  The Dance of the Dead
and Joan of Arc at the Stake.

His later works  began to base on  a more mysticism and  religious meaning,  in his life  time he composed Ballet's,  symphonies
symphonic poems as well as chamber music and sonatas for violin, cello as well as some film music.
