Born in 1961, Didier Favre began studying music at the Regional Conservatory of Grenoble (France) where he graduated in 1978 with highest honors in French horn. In 1981 he entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Lyon to pursue concurrent studies in horn and composition. Following his initial employment with the Nice Opera orchestra, Mr. Favre has enjoyed a successful
career as associate principal horn of the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic since 1991.
But composition continues to be his hobby. Extensive orchestra experience and a thorough knowledge of wind instruments have enabled him to write numerous pieces and arrangements for ensembles of all kinds. On several occasions he has participated in film music composition seminars led by composer Laurent Petitgirard. Mr. Favre has written short chamber pieces for trio, string quartet, woodwind quintet, brass ensemble, and also for full symphony orchestra. His compositions tend to favor the entertaining and playful elements of music.
Interest : Skill level : Ah, your optimism is
enchantingly contagious! A
true feat. Your tonality, at
times, even though percussive,
seems in fact, if reduced to
melodic lines and
counterpoint, ambient. Very
tender in places. A peaceful
aubade and an awe-inspiring
vision. Thank you for sharing
this marvelous work! Bravo!
Interest : Skill level : Sorti des mains de l'excellent
Petitgirard, ce ne pouvait
donner que de l'excellence.
Orchestration colorée et
aisée, doublures "magiques",
solide construction, effets de
théâtre (et de cinéma bien
entendu). On passe un très bon
moment. Williams est présent
bien sûr (entre autres
"Superman", remarquable
partition aussi), mais aussi
Holst. Ce genre de création
mise en ligne ici consacre
désormais définitivement le
caractère professionnel et "de
référence" de Freescore dans
notre métier. Bravo Didier !

Interest : Skill level : Absolutely beautiful piece of
music. We couldn't find a
recording of it anywhere on
youtube to sample it, but we
gave it a go anyways. What a
pleasant surprise... We play
it as a flute-harp-cello trio.
