ETIENNE NICOLAS MEHUL

22md June 1763 --- 18th Oct 1817

Etienne Nicolas Mehul was born in June 22, 1763, in France and died Oct. 18, 1817, composer who influenced the development of
French opera and who was one of the principal composers in the late 18th- and early 19th-century style.

It was  in 1782 that  Méhul produced  a cantata on a  text by  Jean-Jacques Rousseau.  He admaired by  the composers  Christoph
Gluck and also by Luigi Cherubini, his style of music turned to dramatic from   1787 to 1822 in  which he composed more  than 40
operas. He introduce subjects of topical interest into the music of the time around the revolutionary period.  His first performance
of a opera was at the Euphrosine et Coradinv (1790),The Tyrant Corrected.

His  most  successful  works were Le  Jeune Henri (1797),   The Two  Blind  Men  of Toledo  (1806).  He also wrote  patriotic works
demanding great choral & orchestral resources, to mark festive occasions of the French Revolution, such as the Hymne à la raison
(1793).

He did add some romance to his music which was hardly suitable for development at this time, although he did produce some fine
romantic pieces which just faded away, but was revived for a short time under the empire period.

He wrote a number of Operas that were very popular at the time, The principal of  these were Joseph, Euphrosyne,  Stratonice and
L'Irato.  Excepts  of these  operas were still  proformed in the 1860's,  the only other of Mehuls work to  still be proformed until the
end of the 19th century was overture to Le Jeune Henri, very few now have ever heard of this once very popular French composer.
