The Souvenirs du Cháteau is a small, five-piece
piano solo collection composed byEugénie R. Rocherolle that embodies the memories shared by her family, friends, and ancestors at the Cháteau de la Rocherolle, a beautiful medieval family castle located in the heart of France. The entire work is lovingly dedicated to Guy and Monique Rocherolle. [E.R.R. (1991), Neil A. Kjos Company (1992), "Souvenirs du Cháteau" (GP369) p.3]The five pieces are:
* "Une Matinée au Lavoir""A Morning at the Laundry Basin" portrays several women scrubbing away, stopping at intervals to engage in light conversation or the gossip of the day.
* "La Chapelle""The Chapel" is the site of a number of family weddings. It speaks of reverence and romance.
* "Déjeuner dans la Cour""Luncheon in the Courtyard" captures the conviviality of shared moments around the table.
* "Le Donjon""The Dungeon" is a dramatic setting of the despondency of all those detained in its darkness.
* "Le Salon de Musique""The Music Room" is a reminiscence of a more elegant time. [Neil A. Kjos Company (1992), "Souvenirs du Cháteau" (GP369) p.3]
