[PAR] [TLE] Hector Berlioz [SEP] Louis-Hector Berlioz (] (English: ); 11 December 1803 – 8 March 1869) was a French Romantic composer, best known for his compositions "Symphonie fantastique" and "Grande messe des morts" (Requiem).  Berlioz made significant contributions to the modern orchestra with his "Treatise on Instrumentation".  He specified huge orchestral forces for some of his works, and conducted several concerts with more than 1,000 musicians.  He also composed around 50 songs.  His influence was critical for the further development of Romanticism, especially in composers like Richard Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss, and Gustav Mahler. [PAR] [TLE] Les nuits d'été discography [SEP] Les nuits d'été ("Summer Nights"), Op. 7, is a song cycle by the French composer Hector Berlioz, setting six poems by Théophile Gautier.  The cycle, completed in 1841, was originally for soloist and piano accompaniment.  Berlioz orchestrated one of the songs in 1843, and did the same for the other five in 1856.  The cycle was neglected for many years, but during the 20th century it became, and has remained, one of the composer's most popular works.  Of the many recordings made in the 20th and 21st centuries, most are of the orchestrated version and are sung by a soprano or mezzo-soprano.
