À la musique

À la musique is a vocal work by Emmanuel Chabrier for solo soprano, women’s chorus and orchestra (or piano). The words are by poet and playwright Edmond Rostand. It was written as a 'house-warming' gift for Jules "Tergis" Griset, industrialist and keen cellist (member of the famous Geloso Quartet with Albert Géloso, Pierre Monteux and Bloch), to whom it is dedicated ('to inaugurate the house of a friend'). It was first performed in November 1890 at Griset's house (then Place de Laborde, now 12 Place Henri-Bergson, Paris) by the Société Chorale d'Amateurs Guillot de Sainbris with Chabrier at the piano.
