Caliph of Baghdad French MUSIC Conductor’s Score Francois Boieldieu Opera
François-Adrien Boieldieu was an early
19th-century French composer known for his operas. While not nearly
as famous as his German and Austrian contemporaries such as Mozart, Boieldieu
did write operas that have maintained popularity even into today’s music
repertoire. One such opera was his ‘The
Caliph of Baghdad’ – a comedic opera in which Boieldieu incorporated
musical styles from beyond French taste.
This complete conductor’s score of “The Caliph of Baghdad” was published in
Lyon in 1803, only three years after its debut. Interestingly, this example
includes choral scores from 1938 – ephemera that is not typically sold with
this or any such conductor’s score. This particular example also features
German text pasted or handwritten over the original French.
