Souvenirs du Château
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Souvenirs du Cháteau is a small, five-piece piano solo collection composed by Eugénie R. Rocherolle that embodies the memories shared by her family, friends, and ancestors at the Cháteau de la Rocherolle, a beautiful medieval family castle located in the heart of France. The entire work is lovingly dedicated to Guy and Monique Rocherolle.[1]
The five pieces are:
- Une Matinée au Lavoir
A Morning at the Laundry Basin portrays several women scrubbing away, stopping at intervals to engage in light conversation or the gossip of the day.
- La Chapelle
The Chapel is the site of a number of family weddings. It speaks of reverence and romance.
- Déjeuner dans la Cour
Luncheon in the Courtyard captures the conviviality of shared moments around the table.
- Le Donjon
The Dungeon is a dramatic setting of the despondency of all those detained in its darkness.
- Le Salon de Musique
The Music Room is a reminiscence of a more elegant time.[2]
