Gounod, Charles

Gounod, Charles
(18 June 1818, Paris–18 October 1893, St. Cloud)
   Opera composer who also contributed 16 masses, over 50 motets, four oratorios, three sacred cantatas, and many other sacred songs. His earliest and latest masses attempt a sacred semantic through an austere texture and chant-like rhythms. His most famous work is the Messe Solonnelle de Ste. Cécile (1855), which is more operatic.
