Jacques Goudappel (1911-1995) was a wellknown choir conducter. The arrangements he made for these choirs of many operas and musical songs were published and spread all over the world. Goudappel's classical compositions, however were negelcted during his life time. Partly due to his modest character and partly due to the fact that his sensitive, lively, French oriented style didn't fit into the modernistic spirit of the sixties and seventies. But times have changed: when Goudappel's compositions were rediscovered in 2012 and performed in public, they won the acclaim of both musicians and listeners for their quality, depth and suitability for concert performance.
