Godard composed eight operas, five symphonies, two piano and two violin concertos, string quartets, sonatas for violin and piano, piano pieces and etudes, and more than a hundred songs. He died at the age of 45 in Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes) of tuberculosis and was buried in the family tomb in Taverny in the French department of Val-d’Oise.Life and career[edit]  Plaster bust of Benjamin Godard by Ernest-Charles DiosiGodard was born in Paris in 1849. He entered the Conservatoire de Paris in 1863 where he studied under Henri Vieuxtemps (violin) and Napol\u00e9on Henri Reber (harmony) and accompanied Vieuxtemps twice to Germany.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1876, his Concerto romantique was performed at the Concerts Populaires, and other of his large works were also performed at these concerts. In 1878, Godard was the co-winner of the Prix de la Ville de Paris. His winning composition, a dramatic symphony entitled Le Tasso, remains one of his most admired works.From that time until his death Godard wrote a large number of compositions. These include eight operas, among them: Jocelyn (the “Berceuse” from which remains Godard’s best-known composition), performed in Paris in 1888; Dante, played at the Op\u00e9ra-Comique two years later; and La Vivandi\u00e8re, left unfinished and completed by Paul Vidal (1863\u20131931). The last of these was heard at the Op\u00e9ra-Comique in 1895, and was played in England by the Carl Rosa Opera Company.He became a professor at the Conservatoire de Paris in 1887, and was made a Chevalier (Knight) of the L\u00e9gion d’honneur in 1889.Godard’s long list of works includes five symphonies: Symphonie gothique (1883), Symphonie orientale (1884), and Symphonie l\u00e9gendaire (1886); Concerto romantique for violin and orchestra (1876), two piano concertos, three string quartets, four sonatas for violin and piano, a sonata for cello and piano, two piano trios, and various other orchestral works. Among his piano pieces may be mentioned Mazurka No. 2, Valse No. 2, Au Matin, Postillon, En Courant, En Train, and Les Hirondelles. Florian’s Song is also very popular and has been arranged for many instruments. Godard’s fourth sonata for violin and piano contains a scherzo written in the unusual time signature of 54. He wrote more than 100 songs.According to the Encyclop\u00e6dia Britannica Eleventh Edition, “Godard’s compositions are unequal, if only because his productivity was enormous. He was at his best in works of smaller dimensions. Among his more ambitious works, the Symphonie l\u00e9gendaire may be singled out as being one of the most distinctive.”[2]Godard was opposed to the music of Richard Wagner and also highly critical of Wagner’s antisemitism. Godard’s musical style was more in tune with those of Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann.Op.TitleGenreSub\u00addivisionsLibrettoPremi\u00e8re datePlace, theatreNotesLes Guelfesgrand op\u00e9ra5 actsLouis Gallet17 January 1902Rouen, Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Artscomposed 1880\u201382Pedro de Zalameaop\u00e9ra4 actsL\u00e9once D\u00e9troyat & Paul Armand Silvestre31 January 1884Antwerp, Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Royalafter Calder\u00f3n’s The Mayor of Zalamea100Jocelynop\u00e9ra4 actsPaul Armand Silvestre and Victor Capoul, after a poem by Alphonse de Lamartine25 February 1888Brussels, Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Monnaie111Dante et B\u00e9atricedrame lyrique4 acts\u00c9douard Blau13 May 1890Paris, Op\u00e9ra-Comique (Favart)125Jeanne d’Arcdrame historique5 actsJoseph Fabre\u00a0[fr]13 January 1891Paris, Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Ch\u00e2teletRuy Blasafter Victor Hugo’s Ruy Blas; composed in 1891; unperformedLa vivandi\u00e8reop\u00e9ra comique3 actsHenri Ca\u00efn incomplete score: 21 March 1893Brussels, Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Monnaiewith orchestration completed by P.
