Marie Emmanuel Augustin Savard
Marie Emmanuel Augustin Savard (15 May 1861, Paris – 6 December 1942, Lyons) was a French composer.
He was the son of Marie Gabriel Augustin Savard.[1] He studied with Jules Massenet at the Conservatoire de Paris and in 1886, he won first prize in the Prix de Rome for an oratorio entitled La Vision de Saül.[1][2]
An opera, La Forêt (légende musicale en 2 actes), with a libretto by Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919) was published in 1910 (Enoch et cie., Paris).[3] The music uses modal and whole-tone scales, as well as a great deal of chromaticism.[2]
