In the early 1920s, Honegger shot to fame with his "dramatic psalm" "Le Roi David" (King David), which is still in the choral repertoire. Between World War I and World War II, Honegger was very prolific. He composed the music for Abel Gance's epic 1927 film, "Napoléon". He composed nine ballets and three vocal stage works, amongst other works. One of those stage works, "Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher" (1935), a "dramatic oratorio" (to words by Paul Claudel), is thought of as one of his finest works. In addition to his pieces written alone, he collaborated with Jacques Ibert on both an opera, "L'Aiglon" (1937), and an operetta. During this time period he also wrote "Danse de la chèvre" (1921), which has become a staple in the flute repertoire. Dedicated to René Le Roy and written for solo flute, this piece is lively and charming, but with the same directness of all Honegger's work.
