Ramuntcho

Composer: PIERNÉ, Gabriel
  • Written in 1908, Ramuntcho is incidental music that Pierné wrote for a dramatized adaptation of Pierre Loti’s novel Ramuntcho (1897).1
    • In 1910, Pierné extracted two suites from his incidental music to be performed in the concert hall.2
  • Story: in Ramuntcho, the title character is a young man, son of Parisian and Basque parents, trying to fit in with his fellow Basques despite feeling torn between Parisian and Basque cultures.3
