Spratt 109.<br/><br/>"A member of Les Six Honegger's serious-minded musical aesthetic was entirely different from that of others in the group. He developed unusual musical and dramatic forms in large-scale works for voices and orchestra and was one of the 20th century's most dedicated contrapuntists with a clear indebtedness to Bach. His language is essentially tonal but characterized by a highly individual use of dissonance. Despite his admiration for Debussy and Ravel his music is often rugged and uncompromising." Geoffrey K. Spratt in Grove Music Online. Maurice Senart [PN E.M.S. 8737] unknown books
