Abstract


[Pierre]-Eugène Damaré was born on December 3 or 5, 1840, in Bayonne, France, to musician Joseph Barbe Damaré (1803-1850) and Adele Olympe Hauvet (d. 1848). The prolific composer produced more than four hundred works, many for piccolo or flute and orchestra/piano, the exception being works for the stage – operas and vaudeville-comedies. His long career took him from popular open-air concerts in Paris, through tours of the Americas and Europe to a late and important stay in Oran, Algeria. 
The article organizes and translates much original source material on his career, and provides a detailed list of the composer’s works with piccolo/flute.
