Phillip Sear plays a not-very-Moorish, but most attractive serenade by the obscure French (?) composer Jules Arnoud (1847-90).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can tell you very little about Jules Arnoud (1847-90), except that he studied at the Paris Conservatoire, and wrote a five-act opera based on Racine's 'Athalie', songs, piano music and books on harmony and vocal technique.  This piece was probably written before 1874 (as it appears in an anthology published that year).  Note that I have given its German title, as that appears on the German score, but it could presumably have been published earlier with a French title.
