Jean-Philippe Rameau (25 September 1683 - 12 September 1764) was one of the most important French composers and music theorists of the Baroque era. He replaced Jean-Baptiste Lully as the dominant composer of French opera, and was attacked by those who preferred Lully's style.
Rameau’s music is characterised by the exceptional technical knowledge of a composer who wanted above all to be renowned as a theorist of the art. Nevertheless it is not solely addressed to the intelligence and Rameau himself claimed “I try to conceal art with art”.

Children of Lir
Children of Lir is a collaboration between American composer Caleb Smedra, and New Zealand-based flautist Nelson Myers-Daly. I've always been inspired by the mournful Irish flute solos from Enya and Riverdance, so it was a fun opportunity to work with Nelson to craft both the mysterious and triumphant moods this track called for.more
