Also a poet, he frequently provided his own lyrics—most notably in the large-scale works Symphonie légendaire and Les vivendières. The latter work, an opera, was a product of Godard's convalescence; the composer suffered from tuberculosis and died before the opera was complete. The remaining scenes were composed by Paul Vidal, and the resulting hybrid went on to become a major success. |
