The Swiss composer is best remembered for his development of Eurhythmics, which teaches the appreciation of music through movement. His German-language Lieder - setting folksongs as well as more recent Romantic poetry - show him bridging both French and German traditions with a style somewhere between Fauré and Brahms. Written early in Jaques-Dalcroze's career, these songs span a wide range of emotions, from innocent rural idylls to the contemplation of existential pain and heartache.
