About the composer
Émile Paladilhe was born in Montpellier. He was a musical child prodigy, and
moved from his home in the south of France to Paris to begin his studies at the
Conservatoire de Paris at age 10. He became an accomplished pianist, and was the
youngest winner of the Prix de Rome, three years after Bizet, in 1860. He wrote
a number of compositions for the stage, a symphony, over a hundred mélodies,
piano works, and a wide range of sacred music, including cantatas, motets,
masses, chorales, and a noted oratorio, Les Saintes-Marie de la Mer. His
opera Patrie! of 1886 was his greatest success, and was one of the last
grand operas to premiere at the Paris Opéra.
