Catalog of works by Caroline Charrière available online
A catalog of Caroline Charrière's works is now available on the Fri-Memoria platform. It offers a complete overview of the musical legacy of the Fribourg composer.
The idea of publishing a catalog raisonné of Caroline Charrière's works arose during the cataloging work on the composer's estate between 2022 and 2023 in collaboration with the Association Caroline Charrière. Ultimately, the decisive factor for the creation of the project was the fact that over 50 additional works were found during the inventory of the estate in the Cantonal and University Library, which are not listed in the chronological list of works kept by Caroline Charrière herself (2018).
The catalog of works was also based on the catalog by musical genre compiled by the musicologist Irène Minder-Jeanneret (2021), the catalog of the music publisher Bim and the list of works in the inventory of the Caroline Charrière estate (2023). The catalog contains a total of 199 works, 40 arrangements of works by other composers, 6 miniatures composed for special occasions (birthdays and baptisms) and 40 sketches. Charrière also wrote other pieces for private use, but these are not included in the catalog as they are not intended for the public.
Caroline Charrière (1960 - 2018) was a Swiss composer and conductor. She studied flute and composition in Lausanne, Biel and Manchester and conducted the Fribourg women's choir Chœur de Jade in addition to working as a freelance composer.
