Description: <i>La Forêt</i> is an opera in two acts.  It is characterized by the use of modal and whole-tone scales as well as a great deal of chromaticism.  The story is about a woodcutter who is forced by a higher authority to cut down the forest where he played as a child. He is lured to his death by a vision of a beautiful woman.  His wife witnesses his death just as she is passing by in a religious procession. (ref.  <i>Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians</i> 2001).
Notes: Marie-Emmanuel-Augustin Savard (born Paris, May 15, 1861 - died Lyons, December 6, 1942) was the son of Marie-Gabriel-Augustin Savard (1814-1881).
