Étienne Méhul - Stratonice

This is the Ouverture to my one-act opéra comique.

Summary:
"Antiochus, the son of King Seleucus, is pining away yet he would rather die than name the cause of his disease to his father. The doctor, Erasistratus, suspects love is behind Antiochus's suffering. He notices that the prince's pulse rate increases when he sees Stratonice, a young woman intended as his father's bride, and further tests confirm his diagnosis. The doctor subtly reveals the truth to the king who is content to relinquish Stratonice to Antiochus to save his son's life and happiness."

Méhul's La chasse du jeune Henri

 This is moi La chasse du jeune Henri

This piece  provides a more humorous example, with its expanded horn section portraying yelping hounds as well as giving out the hunting calls near the end of the piece!

Symphony in D Major by Moi, Etienne Mehul

This is my symphony in D major!  In my recent composistions I have used the horn section to make my pieces feel alot more dramatic. When I wrote this piece, I used the horn section to create a relation of emotion through the music and listeners. I hope you all enjoy my Symphony in D major ( Etienne Mehul)!
