Georges Hüe - Nocturne for Flute and Piano. Georges Hüe (1858–1948) was a French composer whose training with Charles Gounod and César Franck, together with his admiration from contemporaries such as Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré, shaped a distinctive musical language blending late-Romantic lyricism with Impressionistic color. Nocturne comes from the Latin Nocturnus (nocturnal) and Nocturni (night hours). In music the term Nocturne refers to a pensive composition intended to embody the sentiments appropriate to the evening or night time.
