Although Albéric Magnard's oeuvre is relatively small, the uncompromising perfectionism with which he worked created a catalogue that is filled with expansive, complex and beautifully crafted music. Composed while he was still a student of Vincent d'Indy, the 'Suite d'Orchestre Dans le Style Ancien' follows 18th-century models and is simultaneously solemn and joyful in mood, while the 'Chant Funèbre' is seen as his first true masterpiece. The importance of justice in Magnard's life is expressed in the 'Hymne à la Justice', while the 'Hymne à Vénus' reflects every aspect of love, from tenderness to elation.
