LOUIS See also:JOSEPH See also:FERDINAND (1791-1833) , See also:French musician, the son of See also:Francois Joseph Herold, an accomplished pianist, was See also:born in See also:Paris, on the 28th of See also:January 1791. It was not till after his See also:father's See also:death that Herold in 1806 entered the Paris See also:conservatoire, where he studied under Catal and Maul.
In 1812 he gained the See also:grand prix de See also:Rome with the See also:cantata La Duchesse de la Valliere, and started for See also:Italy, where he remained till 1815 and composed a See also:symphony, a cantata and several pieces of chamber See also:music.

time ventured on the See also:stage with the See also:opera La Gioventu di Enrico V., first performed at See also:Naples in 1815 with moderate success. During a See also:short stay in See also:Vienna he was much in the society of See also:Salieri. Returning to Paris he was invited by See also:Boieldieu to collaborate with him on an opera called See also:Charles de See also:France, performed in 1816, and soon followed by Herold's first French opera, See also:Les Rosieres (1817), which was received very favourably. Herold produced numerous dramatic See also:works for the next fifteen years in rapid See also:succession. Only the names of some of the more important need here be mentioned :—La Clochette (1817), L'Auteur mort et vivant (182o), See also:Marie (1826), and the ballets La Fille mal gardee (1828) and La Belle au bois dormant (1829). Herold also wrote a vast quantity of See also:pianoforte music, in spite of his time being much occupied by his duties as accompanist at the See also:Italian opera in Paris. In 1831 he produced the romantic opera Zampa, and in the following See also:year Le Pre aux clercs (first performance See also:December 15, 1832), in which French esprit and French See also:chivalry find their most perfect embodiment. These two operas secured See also:immortality for the name of the composer, who died on the 18th of January 1833, of the See also:lung disease from which he had suffered for many years, and the effects of which he had accelerated by incessant See also:work. Herold's incomplete opera Ludovic was afterwards printed by J. F. F. See also:Halevy.
