This arrangement for violin and piano of the famous M???ditation from Massenet's opera Tha???s from Edition Peters contains separate violin and piano parts and has been arranged and edited by Roger Nichols. One of the world's foremost authorities on the music of France, Roger Nichols has published and broadcast extensively on the music of composers such as Ravel, Satie, Debussy, Chabrier and Berlioz. In 2006 he was appointed chevalier de la L???gion d'honneur for his services to French music. Tha???s, Massenet's tenth completed opera, had its premi???re at the Paris Op???ra on 16 March 1894 with the American soprano Sibyl Sanderson in the title role. The libretto by Louis Gallet was based on Anatole France's novel of the same name, serialized in the Revue des deux mondes in 1889 and published in book form the following year. The story tells of the conversion to Christianity of the courtesan Tha???s by the holy man Athanael, and his parallel but opposite conversion to a life dominated by lust for her. The M???ditation" for solo violin and orchestra, joining the two scenes of Act II, describes the beginning of Tha???s's conversion. The work was not received well initially; by 1897, when Sanderson retired, it had reached only its fourteenth performance. But the "M???ditation" was an instant success with violinists, and its religious association also encouraged church organists to play it at Mass during the Communion. Even Pope Pius X's motu proprio of 1903, specifically demanding that the music heard in church should "not include reminiscences of those employed in the opera house", could not prevail against it."
