Born in Paris in 1899 Francis Poulenc soon became a notable composer and pianist. His Serenade originally composed in 1925-1926 for Voice and Piano met much success as part of his Bawdy Songs. Therefore it was well-received when Maurice Gendron transcribed it for Cello and Piano. Poulenc as a member of Les Six composed music in a style contrary to that of Richard Wagner and impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Serenade reflects the composer's contrasting style making use of a 6/8 time signature double stops variations in articulation and wide range on the Cello.Being an imaginative and evocative composition Serenade transcribed for Cello and Piano is a pleasurable addition to the repertoire.
