Charles Koechlin
Charles Koechlin (1867-1950) was a French composer, teacher and writer on music, born in Paris. A pupil of Massenet and Fauré at the Paris Conservatoire, he moved freely between strict counterpoint and impressionist colour, drawing on nature, the Orient, astronomy and Hollywood cinema. He is best known for his Jungle Book cycle and for his large treatise on orchestration. Koechlin's Jungle Book cycle includes the symphonic poem Les Bandar-log, in which he parodied twelve-tone writing.
