Fontainebleau Suite: Palace Lake by Grace Becker Vamos, played by Jacqueline Pollauf
Block title
Description
Palace Lake is the first piece from the Fontainebleau Suite by Grace Becker Vamos (1898-1992). This little-known piece was written by American cellist and composer Grace Vamos and was most likely inspired by the time she spent studying at the Fontainebleau School of Music in France. Vamos performed in a flute, harp and cello trio and arranged much of the music for the group, which gave her a strong sense of the harp and its capabilites when composing for the instrument.
