* Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher (dramatic oratorio...)

Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher {Joan of Arc at the Stake}, dramatic oratorio for various speakers & vocal soloists, chorus & orchestra, H. 99, written between 1935-1944.

The dramatic oratorio Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher remains the best-known and most-often-played composition of Arthur Honegger. Since its premiere in 1938, Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher has enjoyed both critical and popular esteem. Honegger, however, claimed that he had merely put his talents at the disposal of the immensely talented Paul Claudel, the French poet and politician who wrote the work's libretto.
