Claude Arrieu 1
Claude Arrieu
Claude Arrieu (born Paris, November 30, 1903 - died Paris, March 7, 1990) was a prolific French composer.
Biography
Claude Arrieu was a classically trained musician from an early age. She became particularly interested in works by
Bach and Mozart, and later, Igor Stravinsky. However, Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel provided
her the most inspiration.
Dreaming of a career as a virtuoso, she entered the Conservatoire de Paris in 1924. She became a piano student of
Marguerite Long and took classes from Georges Caussade, Noël Gallon, Jean Roger-Ducasse and Paul Dukas. In
1932, she received first prize for composition.
From this point on, she developed her personal style. She was particularly interested in the evolution of musical
language and various technical means available. In 1935, she joined the French Radio Broadcasting Program Service
(« Service des programmes de la Radiodiffusion française »), where she was employed to 1947. She participated in
the development of a wide range of programming, including Pierre Schaeffer’s experimental radio series, La
Coquille à planètes (1943–1944). In 1949, she won the Prix Italia of the RAI for her score Frédéric Général.
She wrote music in all styles, composing works of "pure music" as well as music for theatre, film, radio, and music
hall, contributing her own voice to every situation, dramatic or comic, with a particular taste for rhythm and imagery.
Her musical gift is typified by its ease of flow and elegance of structure. Vivacity, clarity of expression, and a natural
feel for melody are her hallmarks.
Arrieu composed concertos for piano (1932), two pianos (1934), two concertos for violin (1938 and 1949), for flute
(1946), trumpet and strings (1965). She also wrote Petite suite en cinq parties (1945), "Concerto for wind quintet and
strings" (1962), Suite funambulesque ("Tightrope Walker's Suite") (1961), and "Variations for classical strings"
(1970).
Among her important chamber music compositions are her "Trio for Woodwinds" (1936), "Sonatina for Two
Violins" (1937), and "Clarinet Quartet" (1964). Her "Sonatine for flute and piano" made a big impression at its first
radio performance in 1944 by Jean-Pierre Rampal and H. Means.
Although Arrieu’s instrumental works strongly contributed to her legacy, it is vocal music that most markedly
distinguish her career. Voice inspired her to set many poems to music, including those by Joachim du Bellay, Louise
Levêque de Vilmorin, Louis Aragon, Jean Cocteau, Jean Tardieu, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Paul Éluard. Examples
include Chansons Bas for voice and piano based on poems by Mallarmé (1937); Candide, radio music on texts by
Jean Tardieu based on Voltaire; and À la Libération, cantata of seven poems on love in war, on poems by Paul
Éluard
Her first opéra bouffe, Cadet Roussel with a libretto by André de la Tourasse after Jean Limozin, was presented at
the Opéra de Marseille on 2 October 1953. In 1960, La princesse de Babylone ("Princess of Babylon"), an opéra
bouffe after the work of Voltaire adapted by Pierre Dominica, was praised for its lyrical originality and spectacle.
Noteworthy film scores include: Les Gueux au paradis (1946), Crèvecoeur (1955), Niok l'éléphant (1957),
Marchands de rien (1958), Le Tombeur (1958), and Julie Charles (for television, 1974).
Pierre Schaeffer writes: "Claude Arrieu is part of her time by virtue of a presence, an instinct of efficiency, a bold
fidelity. Whatever the means, concertos or songs, music for official events, concerts for the elite or for a crowd of
spectators, she delivered emotion through an impeccable technique and a spiritual vigilance, finding the path to the
heart."

Georges Auric
Georges Auric (15 February 1899 – 23 July 1983) was a French
composer, born in Lodève, Hérault. He was a child prodigy and at age
15 he had his first compositions published. He studied at the Paris
Conservatoire with Georges Caussade, and under the composer
Vincent d'Indy at the Schola Cantorum. Before he turned 20 he had
orchestrated and written incidental music for several ballets and stage
productions.
As a young student of at the Paris Conservatory in 1920, and,

considered avant-garde, Auric became part of Satie and Cocteau's
famous group, Les six, and was friends with the artist Jean Hugo. His
participation led to writing settings of poetry and other texts as songs
and musicals. In 1921, Cocteau asked him to write the music for his
ballet, Les mariés de la tour Eiffel. He found himself short of time, so
he asked his fellow composers of Les six to contribute some music. All Georges Auric
except Louis Durey agreed. During this time, he wrote his one act
opera Sous le masque (1927). (An earlier opera, La reine de coeur (1919), is lost.) It was also in 1927 that he
contributed the Rondeau for the children's ballet L'éventail de Jeanne, a collaboration between ten French
composers. In 1952 he participated in yet another collaboration, the set of orchestral variations La guirlande de
Campra.
When Jean Cocteau started making motion pictures, at the beginning of the 1930s Auric began writing film scores.
He wrote soundtracks for a number of French and British films, and his success led to writing the music for
Hollywood movies, too. Several times, Auric’s work made it onto the hit parade, notably The Song from Moulin
Rouge.
Georges Auric 5
Especially notable among his film music is the lavishly impressionistic

score that he wrote for Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast (1946);
other films include Passport to Pimlico (1948), Silent Dust (1949), The
Lavender Hill Mob (1951), Moulin Rouge (1952), The Titfield
Thunderbolt (1953), Roman Holiday (1953), The Wages of Fear
(1953), The Divided Heart (1954), Lola Montes (1955), Rififi (1956),
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1956), Bonjour Tristesse (1958), The
Night Heaven Fell (1958), Goodbye Again (1961), and Therese and
Isabelle (1968).
In 1960 he was a member of the jury at the 10th Berlin International

Film Festival.[1] Grave of Georges Auric
In 1962 he gave up writing for motion pictures when he became

director of the Opéra National de Paris and then chairman of SACEM, the French Performing Rights Society. Auric
continued to write classical chamber music, especially for winds, right up to his death.
Auric died in Paris and was interred at Montparnasse Cemetery.

Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975)[1] is a French electronic musician best known as a member of the French
house music duo Daft Punk. He has also recorded and released music as a member of the trio Stardust, the duo
Together, and as a solo artist including compositions for the film Irréversible.
Thomas Bangalter owns a music label called Roulé. Outside of music production, his credits include film director
and cinematographer. Bangalter resides in Beverly Hills, California, with his wife, French actress Élodie Bouchez,
and their two sons, Tara-Jay[2] [3] and Roxan.[4]
Early life and career

Thomas Bangalter was born in Paris, France. He began playing the piano at the age of six.[5] Bangalter stated in a
video interview [6] that his parents were strict in keeping up his practice, for which he later thanked them. His father,
Daniel Vangarde was a famous songwriter and producer for such performers as the Gibson Brothers, Ottawan, and
Sheila B. Devotion.[7] As expressed by Bangalter, "I never had any intention to do what my father was doing."[2]
Bangalter met Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo while attending the Lycée Carnot school in 1987.[1] It was there that
they discovered their mutual fascination of films and music of the 1960s and 70s, "very basic cult teenager things,
from Easy Rider to the Velvet Underground."[8] They and Laurent Brancowitz eventually joined to form an indie
rock trio called Darlin', in which Bangalter performed bass guitar. Bangalter felt that "It was still maybe more a
teenage thing at that time. It's like, you know, everybody wants to be in a band."[8] A negative review from Melody
Maker magazine referred to the act as "a bunch of daft punk", which inspired Bangalter and de Homem-Christo's
new name.[9]
Shortly before reaching the age of 18, Daft Punk grew interested in electronic music, which led Brancowitz to leave
the group in pursuit of efforts with fellow Parisian band Phoenix.[8] [9] In 1993 Bangalter presented a demo of Daft
Punk material to Stuart Macmillan of Slam that led to their first single "The New Wave". Daniel Vangarde provided
Thomas Bangalter 7
valuable advice for the duo. "He helped us by presenting to us what the situation was with the record industry and
how it worked. Knowing that, we made certain choices in order to achieve what we wanted."[10]
Vangarde was thanked for his efforts in the liner notes of Homework. The title of the album is partially attributed to
the fact that Homework was recorded in Bangalter's bedroom. As he remarked, "I had to move the bed into another
room to make space for the gear."[7] In the years following the 1997 release, Bangalter focused on his own record
label, Roulé ("rolled" in French). The label released singles by Romanthony, Roy Davis Jr., and Bangalter's own solo
material among others. Bangalter's solo works were released on two vinyl-only EPs titled Trax on da Rocks in 1995
and 1998 respectively. The songs "Outrun", "Extra Dry" and "Turbo" from the EPs later appeared in the video game
Midnight Club II. The track "On da Rocks" was featured in a "Da Funk" behind-the-scenes video included with
D.A.F.T.: A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen and Tomatoes. Bangalter collaborated with Alan Braxe and
Benjamin Diamond and in 1998 released the club hit "Music Sounds Better with You" under the name Stardust. Just
as for Homework, the single was recorded in Bangalter's home studio.[7] [11]
Around the same time of "Music Sounds Better with You", Bangalter co-produced Bob Sinclar's second single titled
"Gym Tonic". The single caused a minor dispute as it contained samples from a Jane Fonda workout tape, which led
Fonda herself to refuse permission for the single to be released officially.[12] A different act called Spacedust
released an re-recorded version of the track, titled "Gym and Tonic" under East West Records to wider commercial
success. "Gym and Tonic" became a number one single in the United Kingdom shortly after "Music Sounds Better
with You" had peaked at number two in the same chart.[13]
During 1998, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo collaborated with Romanthony in what would become the first of the
Discovery sessions.[1] One of tracks produced, "One More Time" became Daft Punk's most successful single in
2000. Bangalter also performed on a Yamaha Cs-60 synthesizer on the track "Embuscade" in Phoenix's debut album
United, which was released the same year.[14] He also teamed up with DJ Falcon under the name Together to release
their eponymous 2000 single.
Bangalter produced the score to the film Irréversible, released in 2002. A soundtrack album of the same name was
later released featuring Bangalter's tracks as well as the works by Gustav Mahler, Étienne Daho and Beethoven used
in the film. North American pressings of the album feature only the Bangalter tracks. Three of the tracks from the
Trax on da Rocks EPs were released on the album: "Outrun", "Ventura" and "Extra Dry". 2002 also saw the release
of the Bangalter produced track "113 Fout La Merde" for French hip hop group 113. Bangalter can be seen dancing
in the music video, wearing his Daft Punk helmet.
Together released the single "So Much Love to Give" in 2003. The Eric Prydz track "Call on Me" was initially
thought to be a follow-up to the Together release due to the similarity between the two songs and DJ Falcon's use of
"Call on Me" in DJ sets.[15]
Bangalter was the sound effects director for the 2009 film Enter the Void, his second work with filmmaker Gaspar
Noé following Irréversible.[16] He initially had been approached by Noé to compose the soundtrack of Enter the
Void, but Bangalter was preoccupied with work on the Tron: Legacy score at the time. Bangalter instead provided
various clips of drones and ambiance for the film to be accompanied by music by other artists from the 1960s and
70s.[17] In 2011 he directed and choreographed a short film featuring Élodie Bouchez that served as an advertisement
for the fashion line Co.[18]
Thomas Bangalter 8
Personal life
In 2002, Bangalter fathered a son, Tara-Jay, with actress Élodie Bouchez.[3] In late 2004, Bangalter moved to his
current home in Beverly Hills, California. The move is attributable to Bouchez's career in Hollywood and Bangalter's
own interests in filmmaking.[2] [3] On 2 June 2008, Bouchez gave birth to Bangalter's second son, Roxan.[4]
It was reported that Bangalter had quit DJing in clubs due to developing tinnitus in 2002, saying "I’ve given up
because I want to protect my ears". Orde Meikle of Slam later stated that Bangalter had sufficiently recovered from
the condition, stating that "he had a bit of a scare and thought he’d damaged his ear and had to take obviously
reasonably drastic steps to see how bad the damage was."[19]

Marius Constant
Marius Constant (7 February 1925, Bucharest – 15 May 2004 in Paris) was a Romanian-born French composer and
conductor. Known primarily for his television soundtracks, his most widely heard score was the iconic Twilight Zone
theme song. [1]
Constant studied piano and composition at the Bucharest conservatory, receiving the George Enescu Award in 1944.
In 1946 he moved to Paris, studying at the conservatory with Olivier Messiaen, Tony Aubin, Arthur Honegger and
Nadia Boulanger. His compositions earned several prizes. From 1950 on he was increasingly involved with
electronic music and joined Pierre Schaeffer's Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète.
From 1956 to 1966 Constant conducted at the Ballets de Paris, then directed by Roland Petit. To this period belong
the numerous Ballet scores for Petit und Maurice Béjart, namely: Haut-voltage (1956), Contrepointe (1958), Cyrano
de Bergerac (1959), Éloge de la folie (1966) and Paradis perdu (1967). For the 1957 Aix-en-Provence Festival 1957
he wrote a piano concerto, but won wider recognition for the premiere, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, of 24
Préludes pour Orchestre (1958). Turner (1961) was a tone poem inspired by the English painter William Turner.
In 1963 Constant founded the pioneering Ensemble Ars Nova. In 1970 he took over the musical direction of the
ORTF; from 1973 to 1978 he directed at the Paris Opera, and in 1988 and 1989 was Professor of Orchestration at the
Paris Conservatory. Besides these appointments, he taught at Stanford University and in Hilversum. Later ballets
include Septentrion (1975), Nana (1976) and L'ange bleu (1985). La tragédie de Carmen (1981), his adaptation of
Bizet's opera for director Peter Brook, was an international success.
In 1987 he arranged the orchestral music for the ballet Les mariés de la tour Eiffel for an ensemble of 15 instruments.

Birth name Vladimir Cosma
Born 13 April 1940

Bucarest, Romania
Genres Film score
Occupations Composer, conductor
Years active 1968 until now
Vladimir Cosma was born April 13, 1940 in Bucharest, Romania, into a family of musicians. His father, Teodor
Cosma, was a pianist and conductor, his mother a writer-composer, his uncle, Edgar Cosma, composer and
conductor, and one of his grandmothers, pianist, a student of the renowned Ferrucio Busoni.
After receiving first prizes for violin and composition at the Bucharest Conservatoire of Music, he arrived in Paris in
1963 and continued his studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, working with Nadia
Boulanger. As well as for classical music, he discovered early on a passion for jazz, film music and all forms of
popular music.
From 1964 he made a number of international tours as a concert violinist and began to devote himself more and
more to composing. He wrote various compositions including: « Trois mouvements d’été » for symphony orchestra,
« Oblique » for violoncello and string orchestra, music for theatre and ballet (« Volpone » for the Comédie Française,
the opera « Fantômas»…).
In 1968, Yves Robert entrusted him with his first film music for « Alexandre le Bienheureux ».
Vladimir Cosma has since composed more than three hundred scores for feature films and TV series. His numerous
successes in the cinema have notably been in collaboration with Yves Robert, Gérard Oury, Francis Veber, Claude
Pinoteau, Jean-Jacques Beineix, Claude Zidi, Ettore Scola, Pascal Thomas, Pierre Richard, Yves Boisset, André
Cayatte, Jean-Pierre Mocky, Edouard Molinaro, Jean-Marie Poiré… and among which: Le Grand Blond avec une
chaussure noire, Diva, Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob, La Boum, le Bal, l’As des As, la Chèvre, Les Fugitifs, Les
Zozos, Pleure pas la bouche pleine, Dupont Lajoie, Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, La Dérobade, Le Père Noël
est une ordure, L'Étudiante, La Gloire de mon père, Le Château de ma mère, Le dîner de cons …
Vladimir Cosma also featured in major French and American television productions: Michel Strogoff, Kidnapped,
Mistral’s Daughter, Châteauvallon, Les Mystères de Paris, Les Cœurs Brûlés…
Film music allowed him to approach and develop many different musical styles: jazz (with music written for famous
soloists such as Chet Baker, Toots Thielemans, Don Byas, Stéphane Grappelli, Jean-Luc Ponty, Philip Catherine,
Tony Coe, Pepper Adams, la chanson (pour Nana Mouskouri, Marie Laforêt, Richard Sanderson, Diane Dufresne,
Vladimir Cosma 18
Herbert Léonard, Mireille Mathieu, Nicole Croisille, Lara Fabian, Guy Marchand, original compositions inspired by
folk-music (for Gheorghe Zamfir, Stanciu Simion « Syrinx », pan-flute, Liam O'Flynn- pipes, Romane-guitar), as
well as classical music (Berlin Concerto for violin and orchestra, Concerto for Euphonium and orchestra, Concerto
Ibérique for trumpet and orchestra, Courts Métrages for brass quintet…)
In 2006 he conducted the world premier of his composition « Eh bien ! Dansez maintenant», divertissement for
narrator and symphony orchestra, from the Fables of Jean de la Fontaine, at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, with the
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and Lambert Wilson as narrator. Conducting the Orchestre National de France he
gave a first performance in Paris of this work in December 2010 at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, featuring Eric
Génovèse of the Comédie Française.
Vladimir Cosma wrote the opera “Marius et Fanny”, adapted from Marcel Pagnol, for which the first production took
place in September 2007 at the Opéra de Marseille with Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu in the title roles, as
well as Jean-Philippe Lafont in the role of César. The performances were repeated several times on television on the
channels ARTE and FR3.
In 2008 he composed the music for the musical comedy « Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob » performed at the Palais
des Congrès in Paris, with Eric Metayer, Marianne James, Spike, Julie Victor…
In June 2009, Vladimir Cosma conducted the world premier in the Eglise Sainte-Madeleine de Béziers, of his cantata
«1209», for soprano, narrator, children's choir and orchestra, written especially for the 8th centenary of the Sac de
Béziers.
He is dedicated to re-writing his film music with the intention of conducting performances in symphonic concerts,
thus approaching a wider audience than at the cinema . Among others, he gave a concert in Geneva in 2003 with the
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, a series of concerts in 2003 with the Orchestre National de Lyon, three concerts in
2005 in Paris at the Grand Rex, a concert in 2010 with the Orchestre de l'Ile-de-France in the Théâtre du Châtelet in
Paris.
He has also appeared in many countries with major symphony orchestras and such prestigious soloists as Ivry Gitlis,
Vadim Repin, Wilhelmenia Fernandez, Patrice Fontanarosa, Jean-Luc Ponty, Didier Lockwood, Stanciu Simion «
Syrinx», Philip Catherine and others. A book of interviews with Vincent Perrot entitled « Vladimir Cosma comme au
cinéma » was published in 2009 in the Editions Hors Collection and an anthology of his film music regrouping 91
complete original soundtracks in two volumes has just come out. Two evenings were devoted to him by FR3 in
2010, airing his concert at the Théâtre du Châtelet and a documentary «Vladimir Cosma intime ».
Vladimir Cosma received two Césars for the best movie score, for Diva (1982) and Le Bal (1984), two Golden
Sevens for the best music for television, as well as a number of prizes and awards in France and other countries.
He has also obtained numerous gold and platinum records all over the world (France, Germany, Japan, England,
Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Scandinavia).
Vladimir Cosma is Chevalier de l'ordre National la Légion d’Honneur, Grand Officier du Mérite Culturel Roumain,
as well as Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres.

Bruno Coulais (born 13 January 1954) is a French composer, most widely known for his music on film soundtracks.
He recently composed the score for the animated film, The Secret of Kells, released 12 March 2010.
Life and career

Coulais was born in Paris; his father is from Vendée and his mother was born in Paris. Coulais began his musical
education on the violin and piano, aiming to become a composer of contemporary classical music. However, a series
of acquaintances gradually re-oriented him towards film music. Coulais met François Reichenbach, who asked him
in 1977 to sonorize his documentary México mágico and the producer Marie Bodin who permit to compose the first
soundtracks for Jacques Davila . Until the end of the 1990s, he remained low-profile, composing mainly for
television. His name can often be found from TV films by Gérard Marx and Laurent Heynemann. He also composed
the soundtracks for Christine Pascal's 1992 film Le petit prince a dit, and Agnès Merlet's Le fils du requin in 1993.
In 1994, he met the television producer Josée Dayan, who let him write a theme for the TV series La rivière
esperance, aired on the France 2 network in autumn 1995. He worked with Dayan again with other major
productions such as Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, Balzac, and Les nuiteux.
The largest turning point of his career came in 1996, when he worked with directors Claude Nuridsany and Marie
Pérennou of the documentary Microcosmos. This single film, which gave a great significance to the music in it, was
a great success and made Coulais one of the most wanted composers of French film music. In 1997, he won the
César award for the best musical score in a film, as well as a Victoire de la Musique. His reputation was confirmed
Bruno Coulais 33
by the soundtracks to Himalaya (1999) and Les rivières pourpres (2000), and after that Bruno Coulais's name was to
be found on most new French blockbusters, such as Belphégor and Vidocq.
After producing the soundtrack to Winged Migration in 2001, Coulais announced that he wanted to significantly
reduce his contributions to film music, and instead concentrate on other projects, such as the creation of an opera for
children, and collaborations with Akhenaton, Akhenaton's group IAM and the Corsican group A Filetta, with whom
he had worked since he had made the soundtrack for Jacques Weber's film Don Juan in 1998.
In 2002, his name was found on the ending credits of the animation L'enfant qui voulait être un ours, and in 2004, on
Frédéric Schoendoerffer's Agents secrets. The same year, he wrote the soundtrack to the film Les choristes by
Christophe Barratier, which subsequently became an international hit. The music for this film received as great
praise as the film itself, and it won Coulais his third César award. Since then, Coulais's collaborations in cinema
seem to be limited to works by directors with whom he already shares some history, in particular Jacques Perrin,
Frédéric Schoendoerffer, and James Huth.
In 2009, he won the 37th Annie Awards in the "Music in a Feature Production" category for Coraline.[1]
In 2009 he also collaborated with Irish band Kíla to produce the soundtrack for the beautifully and uniquely
animated feature film, The Secret of Kells, which tells the story of a parentless boy, Brendan, and his involvement
with The Book of Kells. The music is equally light and dark and the textures and sounds equally European and Irish.
Bruno Coulais's musical style may vary significantly between different projects, but there are some constant factors
visible: his taste for opera and for human voice (in particular that of children), for a search for original sonority, for
world music and mixing different musical cultures, and finally, a certain tendency to give preference to the ambience
created by lighting rather than the film's narration.

Léo Daniderff 38
Léo Daniderff
Léo Daniderff (born Gaston-Ferdinand Niquet in Angers, France 16 February 1878; died Rosny-sous-Bois,
France 24 October 1943)[1] was a French composer of the pre-World War II area.
His 1917 comical song, Je cherche après Titine (lyrics by Louis Mauban and Marcel Bertal), became world-famous
due to Charlie Chaplin singing it in gibberish in Modern Times (1936), especially because it was the first time his
character ever spoke in the movies. The title means I am looking for Titine, and Titine is the diminutive of some
feminine first names like Martine and Clémentine.
A few years later, in 1939, the song was (again) adapted into Wąsik, ach ten wąsik (Oh, what a moustache!) Polish
cabaret number, performed by Ludwik Sempoliński and which tried to "decide" who was funnier and who brought
more to the world, Chaplin or Hitler. After the outbreak of WWII, Gestapo tried to locate both Sempoliński and the
lyricist, who was either Julian Tuwim or Marian Hemar, but failed for both.
Chaplin, in his film The Great Dictator (1940), decided to parody Hitler himself.
Around 1964 Jacques Brel also wrote a song named Titine, incorporating fragments of the melody and referencing
both Daniderff's song and Chaplin.
Other singers were Georgette Plana and Yves Montand.
The song was parodied by Gary Muller in 1982 as "My Name Is Not Merv Griffin".
The song's copyright belongs or belonged to Editions Léon Agel and Les Nouvelles Editions Méridian.
Daniderff other hit song "Sur la Riviera" was used as theme for Jean Renoir's Boudu Saved from Drowning (1932).

Marcel Delannoy 39
Marcel Delannoy
Marcel Delannoy (9 July 1898 – 14 September 1962) was a French composer and critic.[1] He wrote operas, ballets,
orchestral works, vocal and chamber works, and film scores.
Life and career

Delannoy was born at La Ferté-Alais, Essonne, France. He initially studied painting and architecture and entered the
École des Beaux-Arts, but at age 20 he took up music. Having been mobilised during the First World War, he then
worked as an artist. However, he was initially self-taught and never attended a conservatory, but he did receive some
encouragement from Arthur Honegger (whose biography he wrote in 1953) and some lessons from Alexis
Roland-Manuel and André Gedalge. He made his name with the opera Le Poirier de misère (1927), which attracted
favourable commentary from Maurice Ravel, among others. That same year, he was one of ten composers who
collaborated on a children's ballet, L'éventail de Jeanne (contributing the 'Bourrée').
In 1932, Delannoy was one of five composers approached by the producers of the film Don Quichotte for a series of
songs to be sung by its star, the Russian bass Feodor Chaliapin. The other composers invited were Ravel, Jacques
Ibert, Manuel de Falla and Darius Milhaud. Ibert's setting was chosen for the film.[2]
He wrote criticism for Les Nouveaux temps, where he reviewed the first Paris performance of Olivier Messiaen's
Quartet for the End of Time on 24 June 1941, in which he strongly objected to the written commentary
accompanying the work.[3] [4]
The Association de Musique Contemporaine (AMC), of which Delannoy was a committee member, included his
works in its early concerts of 1940-41. He also became a member of the Groupe Collaboration.[4] Although showing
the influence of Honegger, Delannoy carved his own separate path somewhat apart from contemporary trends.[1]
Alice Swanson Esty commissioned and premiered his song cycle La Voix du Silence (1958).[5]
The baroque oboist and recorder player Michel Piguet (1932-2004) studied with Delannoy.[6]
Delannoy married the pianist Lisette Claveau. He died in Nantes. There is now a Rue Marcel Delannoy in his
birthplace of La Ferté-Alais.[7]
Recordings
Delannoy's Sérénade concertante for violin and orchestra (soloist Henri Merkel) and the 'Danse des Négrillons' and
'Apothéose' from La Pantoufle de vair were recorded by the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra conducted by Charles
Munch in July 1941. [8] The Complainte de l'homme-serpent from the operetta Philippine was recorded by Hugues
Cuénod.[9] Extracts from Ginèvra were recorded by the original cast of the Opéra-Comique conducted by Roger
Désormière in June 1943.[10]

Georges Delerue
Georges Delerue (March 12, 1925 – March 20, 1992), was a French
film composer who composed over 350 scores for cinema and
television.[1] He won numerous important awards including Rome
Prize (1949), Emmy Award (1968 – Our World), Genie Award (1986
– Sword Of Gideon), ACE Award (1991 – The Josephine Baker Story)
and Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1979 for A Little
Romance and 4 other Academy Nominations (1969 – Anne of the
Thousand Days, 1973 – The Day of the Dolphin, 1977 – Julia and
1985 – Agnes of God).
Le Figaro (France, 1981) addressed him as "Mozart of Cinema"

(Georges Delerue le Mozart des salles obscures). Delerue was the first
composer to win 3 consecutive César Awards: 1979 – Get Out Your
Handkerchiefs, 1980 – Love on the Run and 1981 – The Last Metro.
Georges Delerue was a Commander of Arts and Letters, one of
France's highest honours.
Georges Delerue
Biography
Delerue was born in Roubaix. His career was diverse and he composed frequently for major art house directors, most
often François Truffaut (including Jules and Jim), but also for Jean-Luc Godard's film Contempt (Le Mépris), and for
Alain Resnais, Louis Malle, and Bernardo Bertolucci, besides working on several Hollywood productions, including
Oliver Stone's Platoon and Salvador.
He composed the music for Flemming Flindt's ballet, Enetime (The Lesson), based on Ionesco's play, La Leçon.
During his 42 years career he put his talent to the service of nearly 200 feature movies, 125 short ones, 70 TV films
and 35 TV serials. The soundtrack for war docudrama by Pierre Schoendoerffer, Diên Biên Phu (1992), was one of
the late notable works.
Georges Delerue 43
According to many testimonies he would do and redo some cues to fit the new editing of a sequence without any
protestation. He insisted on being allowed to orchestrate and conduct himself in order to polish every detail. Georges
Delerue was extraordinarily gifted for melody and at creating surrounding overtones which encapsulated the spirit of
the movies on which he collaborated, enhancing them often beyond the expectations of their directors.
Georges Delerue died from a heart attack in Los Angeles at the age of 67, just after the recording of the last cue for
the soundtrack to Rich In Love. He is buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Roger Désormière
Roger Désormière (French pronunciation: [ʁɔʒe dezɔʁmjɛːʁ]; 13 September 1898 – 25 October 1963) was a French
conductor.[1]
Désormière was born in Vichy in 1898. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire, where his professors included Philippe
Gaubert (flute), Xavier Leroux and Charles Koechlin (composition), and Vincent d'Indy (conducting). In 1922 he
won the Prix Blumenthal and in 1923 became part of the Ecole d’Arcueil.[2]
Désormière’s early conducting experience was largely with the Ballets suédois and Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes.
He was conductor of the Ballets suédois's premiere of Relâche (1924), a film and music presentation by Francis
Picabia and Erik Satie, with the film segment, Entr'acte, directed by René Clair. He then worked for the Diaghilev
company from 1925 until the impresario's death, conducting the premieres of Barabau by Vittorio Rieti, The
Prodigal Son and Le pas d'acier by Sergei Prokofiev, and La Chatte by Henri Sauguet.[3]
Beginning in 1932 he became closely involved in music for films with Pathé-Nathan, composing music for La Règle
du jeu, Le Mariage de Chiffon, and Le Voyageur de la Toussaint. He also conducted the orchestra in over 20 other
films, such as Partie de campagne, Remorques, La Belle et la bête, and La Beauté du diable.
He conducted the first complete recording of Claude Debussy's opera Pelléas et Mélisande, the sessions taking place
in the salle de l’ancien Conservatoire, Paris, from 24 April to 26 May 1941, during the Nazi occupation, with the
20-record set being issued in January 1942.[4] He also recorded excerpts from Chabrier’s L'étoile with
Opéra-Comique forces during the war. During the occupation of Paris he was a member of the Front National des
Musiciens; after Milhaud was forced to leave France, Désormière saved his paintings and personal possessions as
well as paying the apartment rent during the Occupation.[5]
He also won considerable fame as an enthusiastic champion of 20th-century repertoire; Satie, Olivier Messiaen,
Pierre Boulez, Henri Dutilleux, and Maurice Duruflé all benefited from his advocacy of their pieces. At the other
chronological extreme, Désormière edited and performed early music, reviving mostly forgotten compositions by the
likes of François Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau, and Michel Richard Delalande. From 1937 he was a leading
conductor for the Paris Opéra-Comique, conducting, in addition to the creations below and recordings above, Une
éducation manquée, L'heure espagnole, Le médecin malgré lui, Don Quichotte and L’Enlèvement au Sérail.[6] He
became an associate director of the Paris Opéra from 1945 to 1946.
While driving in Rome during 1952, he suffered a massive paralytic stroke that ended all his musical activities.
Aphasic for the rest of his life, he remained a recluse. He died in Paris in 1963.

André Hossein
André Hossein, born Aminoullah Husseinoff (Persian: ‫ ;ﺍﻣﻴﻦ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺣﺴﻴﻦ‬Russian: Аминулла Гусейнов; Azerbaijani:
Əminulla Hüseynov 1905, Samarkand – 9 August 1983, Paris) was a celebrated Iranian[1] composer of
Neo-Romantic music and a tar soloist residing in France.[2]
His mother was a Persian woman from Samarkand (present-day Uzbekistan) and his father was a merchant,
originally from Azerbaijan. Aminollah Hossein lived for a few years in Persia (Iran) before he left the country for his
academic studies.
Life and education

His son, Robert Hossein, has written that André Hossein studied in Moscow, Russia and later in Germany where he
attended a music academy in Stuttgart and the Berlin Conservatory from 1934 to 1937. His fascination with
pre-Islamic Persia led him to convert to Zoroastrianism. His newfound religion immensely influenced his musical
work in symphonies such as "Persian Miniature", "I love my Country" , and "Symphony Persepolis".[3] [4] He
married Anna Minevskaya, a Jewish comedy actress from Kiev,[5] who had immigrated to Paris, France, with her
parents after the October Revolution.[6] [7] He spent the rest of his life in France. He also studied privately under Paul
Antoine Vidal in Conservatoire de Paris.
An Iranian-Canadian music historian and student of the elder Hossein, Farya Pirbizari, has written that Mr. Hossein
actually arrived in Moscow as a very young child, leaving for Berlin after the First World War to complete his
secondary education and attending the Conservatoire de Paris in the 1920s under Artur Schnabel.[8]
André Hossein 57
Works
In 1935 he wrote his first ballet, Towards the Light. He also composed numerous pieces for the piano, including
some études. Aminollah's love for his native Iran is evident in many of his works, especially The Symphony of
Persepolis (also known as The Rubble of the Forgotten Empire), which he finished in 1947. Aminollah Hossein also
made a symphony on Khayyám poems in 1951.
Other works by him include three piano concertos, Persian Miniature, Scheherezade (Shahrzad), and Arya
Symphony. He also composed some film scores, including films directed by his son Robert Hossein, the Paris-born
actor and director.

Jacques Ibert 58
Jacques Ibert
Jacques François Antoine Ibert (15 August 1890 – 5 February 1962)
was a French composer. Having studied music from an early age, he
studied at the Paris Conservatoire and won its top prize, the Prix de
Rome at his first attempt, despite studies interrupted by his service in
World War I.
Ibert pursued a successful composing career, writing (sometimes in
collaboration with other composers) seven operas, five ballets,
incidental music for plays and films, songs, choral works, and chamber
music. He is probably best remembered for his orchestral works
including Divertissement (1930) and Escales (1922).
As a composer, Ibert did not attach himself to any of the prevalent
genres of music of his time, and has been described as an eclectic. This
is seen even in his best-known pieces: Divertissement, for small
orchestra is lighthearted, even frivolous, and Escales (1922) is a ripely
romantic work for large orchestra.

In tandem with his creative work, Ibert was the director of the
Académie de France at the Villa Medici in Rome. During World War II he was proscribed by the pro-Nazi
government in Paris, and for a time he went into exile in Switzerland. Restored to his former eminence in French
musical life after the war, his final musical appointment was in charge of the Paris Opera and the Opéra-Comique.
Biography
Early years
Ibert was born in Paris. His father was a successful businessman and his mother was a talented pianist who had
studied with Antoine François Marmontel and encouraged the young Ibert's musical interests. From the age of four,
he began studying music, first learning the violin and then the piano. After leaving school, he earned a living as a
private teacher, as an accompanist, and as a cinema pianist. He also started composing songs, sometimes under the
pen name William Berty. In 1910 he became a student at the Paris Conservatoire, studying with Emile Pessard
(harmony), André Gedalge (counterpoint) and Paul Vidal (composition). Gédalge also gave him private lessons in
orchestration; Ibert's fellow-students at these private classes included Arthur Honegger and Darius Milhaud.[1]
Ibert's musical studies were interrupted by the outbreak of World War I, in which he served as a naval officer. After
the war he married Rosette Veber, daughter of the painter Jean Veber. Resuming his studies, he won the
Conservatoire's top prize, the Prix de Rome at his first attempt, in 1919.[1] The prize gave him the opportunity to
pursue further musical studies in Rome. In the course of these, Ibert composed his first opera, Persée et Andromède
(1921), to a libretto by his brother-in-law, the author Michel Veber, writing under the pen name "Nino".[2]
Composer and administrator

Among Ibert's early orchestral compositions were La Ballade de la geôle de Reading, inspired by Oscar Wilde's
poem, and Escales (Ports of call), inspired by his experiences of Mediterranean ports while he was serving in the
navy.[3] The first of these works was played at the Concerts Colonne in October 1922, conducted by Gabriel Pierné;
the second was performed in January 1924 with Paul Paray conducting the Orchestre Lamoureux. The two works
made Ibert an early reputation both at home and abroad. His publisher Alphonse Leduc commissioned two
collections of piano music from him, Histoires and Les Rencontres, which enhanced his popularity.[1] Rencontres. In
Jacques Ibert 59
1927 his opéra-bouffe Angélique was produced; it was the most successful of his operas, a musical farce, displaying
eclectic style and flair.[2]
In addition to composing, Ibert was active as a conductor and in musical administration. He was a member of
professional committees, and in 1937 he was appointed director of the Académie de France at the Villa Medici in
Rome. Ibert, with the enthusiastic support of his wife "threw himself wholeheartedly into his administrative role and
proved an excellent ambassador of French culture in Italy."[1] He held the post until the end of 1960, except for an
enforced break while France and Italy were at war during World War II.
Later years
The war years were difficult for Ibert. In 1940 the Vichy government banned his music and he retreated to Antibes,
in the south of France, and later to Switzerland and the Haute-Savoie. In August 1944, he was readmitted to the
musical life of the country when General de Gaulle recalled him to Paris. In 1955 Ibert was appointed administrator
of the Réunion des Théâtres Lyriques Nationaux, which ran both the Paris Opera and the Opéra-Comique. After less
than a year, his health obliged him to retire. Shortly afterwards he was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts.[1]
Ibert died in Paris aged 71, and is buried at Passy Cemetery in the city's 16th arrondissement.
Music
Ibert refused to ally himself to any particular musical fashion or school, maintaining that "all systems are valid", a
position that has caused many commentators to categorise him as "eclectic".[2] His biographer, Alexandra Laederich,
writes, "His music can be festive and gay … lyrical and inspired, or descriptive and evocative … often tinged with
gentle humour…[A]ll the elements of his musical language bar that of harmony relate closely to the Classical
tradition."[1] The early orchestral works, such as Escales, are in "a lush Impressionist style",[4] but Ibert is at least as
well-known for lighthearted, even frivolous, pieces, among which are the Divertissement for small orchestra and the
Flute Concerto.[4]
Ibert's stage works similarly embrace a wide variety of styles. His first opera, Persée et Andromède, is a concise,
gently satirical piece. Angélique displays his "eclectic style and his accomplished writing of pastiche set pieces".[2]
Le roi d'Yvetot is written, in part in a simple folklike style. The opéra bouffe Gonzague is another essay in the old
opera bouffe style. L'Aiglon, composed jointly with Honegger, employs commedia dell'arte characters and much
musical pastiche in a style both accessible and sophisticated.[1] For the farcical Les petites Cardinal the music is in
set pieces in the manner of an operetta. By contrast Le chevalier errant, a choreographic piece incorporating chorus
and two reciters, is in an epic style.[2] Ibert's practice of collaborating with other composers extended to his works for
the ballet stage. His first work composed expressly for the ballet was a waltz for L'éventail de Jeanne (1929) to
which he was one of ten contributors, others of whom were Ravel and Poulenc. He was the sole composer of four
further ballets between 1934 and 1954.[1]
For the theatre and cinema, Ibert was a prolific composer of incidental music. His best-known theatre score was
music for Eugéne Labiche's Un chapeau de paille d'Italie, which Ibert later reworked as the suite Divertissement.
Other scores ranged from music for farce to that for Shakespeare productions. His cinema scores covered a similarly
broad range. He wrote the music for more than a dozen French films, and for American directors he composed a
score for Orson Welles's 1948 film of Macbeth, and the Circus ballet for Gene Kelly's Invitation to the Dance in
1952.[1]

Maurice Jarre 63
Maurice Jarre
Maurice Jarre
Born 13 September 1924
Lyon, France
Died 28 March 2009 (aged 84)

Los Angeles, California, United States
Occupations Composer, conductor
Years active 1958–2001
Maurice-Alexis Jarre (13 September 1924 – 28 March 2009)[1] [2] [3] was a French composer and conductor.
Although he composed several concert works, he is best known for his film scores, and is particularly known for his
collaborations with film director David Lean. Jarre composed the scores to all of Lean's films since Lawrence of
Arabia (1962). Other notable scores include The Train (1964), Mohammad, Messenger of God (1976), Witness
(1985) and Ghost (1990). Jarre was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[4] Three of his compositions
spent a total of forty-two weeks on the U.K. singles chart chart; the biggest hit was 'Somewhere My Love' (to his
tune Lara's Theme, with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster) by the Michael Sammes Singers, which reached number
fourteen in 1966 and spent thirty-eight weeks on the chart.
Jarre was a three time Academy Award winner, for Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Doctor Zhivago (1965), and A
Passage to India (1984), all of which were directed by David Lean. He was Oscar nominated a total of eight times.
His son is the electronic composer Jean Michel Jarre.
Early life
Jarre was born in Lyon, France, in 1924, the son of Gabrielle Renée (née Boullu) and André Jarre, a radio technical
director.[5] He first enrolled in the engineering school at the Sorbonne, but decided to pursue music courses instead.
He left the Sorbonne, against his father's will, and enrolled at the Conservatoire de Paris to study composition and
harmony, and chose percussion as his major instrument.[3] He became director of the Théâtre National Populaire and
recorded his first film score in France in 1951.[6]
Film scoring
In 1961 Jarre's music career experienced a major change when British film producer Sam Spiegel asked him to write
the score for the 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia, directed by David Lean.[7] The acclaimed score won Jarre his first
Academy Award and he would go on to compose the scores to all of Lean's subsequent films. He followed with The
Train (1964) and Grand Prix (1966), the iconic racing film for director John Frankenheimer, and in between had
another great success in Doctor Zhivago, which included the lyricless tune "Lara's Theme" (later the tune for the
song "Somewhere My Love"), and which earned him his second Oscar. He worked with Alfred Hitchcock on Topaz
(1969); though Hitchcock's experiences on the film were unhappy, he was satisfied with Jarre's score, telling him "I
have not given you a great film, but you have given me a great score." His score for David Lean's Ryan's Daughter
(1970), set in Ireland, completely eschews traditional Irish music styles, owing to Lean's preferences. The song "It
was a Good Time," from Ryan's Daughter went on to be recorded by musical stars such as Liza Minnelli who used it
in her critically acclaimed television special Liza with a Z as well as by others during the 1970s. He contributed the
music for Luchino Visconti's The Damned (1969) and John Huston's The Man Who Would Be King (1975).
He was again nominated for an Academy award for scoring The Message in 1976 for the director and producer
Moustapha Akkad. He followed with Witness (1985) and Dead Poets Society (1989), for which he won a British
Maurice Jarre 64
Academy Award.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Jarre turned his hand to science fiction, with scores for The Island at the Top of the World
(1974), Enemy Mine (1985) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). The latter is written for full orchestra,
augmented by a chorus, four grand pianos, a pipe organ, digeridoo, fujara, a battery of exotic percussion and three
ondes Martenot (which feature in several of Jarre's other scores, including Lawrence of Arabia, Jesus of Nazareth,
The Bride) and Prancer (1989).
In 1990 Jarre was again nominated for an Academy Award scoring the supernatural love story / thriller Ghost. His
music for the final scene of the film is based on "Unchained Melody" composed by fellow film composer Alex
North.[3] Other films for which he provided the music include his passionate love theme from Fatal Attraction
(1987), and the moody electronic soundscapes of After Dark, My Sweet (1990). He was well respected by other
composers including John Williams, who stated on Jarre's passing, "(He) is to be well remembered for his lasting
contribution to film music...we all have been enriched by his legacy."[8]
His television work includes the score for the miniseries Jesus of Nazareth (1977), directed by Franco Zeffirelli,
Shōgun (1980), and the theme for PBS's Great Performances.[3]
Jarre scored his last film in 2001, a television film about the Holocaust entitled Uprising.[3]
Music style
Jarre wrote mainly for orchestras, but began to favour synthesized music in the 1980s. Jarre pointed out that his
electronic score for Witness was actually more laborious, time-consuming and expensive to produce than an
orchestral score. Jarre's electronic scores from the 80s also include Fatal Attraction, The Year of Living Dangerously,
Firefox and No Way Out. A number of his scores from that era also feature electronic/acoustic blends, such as
Gorillas in the Mist, Dead Poets Society, The Mosquito Coast and Jacob's Ladder.
Awards
Jarre received three Academy Awards and was nominated a total of eight times, all in the category of Best Original
Score. He also won three Golden Globes and was nominated for ten.
The American Film Institute ranked Jarre's score for Lawrence of Arabia #3 on their list of the greatest film scores.
His scores for the following films were also nominated for the list:
• Doctor Zhivago (1965)
• A Passage to India (1984)
• Ryan's Daughter (1970)
Family
Jarre was married four times, the first three marriages ending in divorce. His marriage to Francette Pejot (in the
1940s, after World War II), produced a son, Jean Michel Jarre, a French composer who is one of the pioneers in
electronic music. In 1965, he married French actress Dany Saval. Together they had a daughter, Stephanie Jarre.
Jarre next married American actress Laura Devon (1967–1984), resulting in him adopting her son, Kevin Jarre, a
screenwriter, with credits on such films as Tombstone and Glory. From 1984 to his death[9] he was married to Fong
F. Khong (1984–2009).

Origin Budapest, Hungary
Died 7 August 1969

(aged 63)
France
Joseph Kosma (22 October 1905 – 7 August 1969) was a Hungarian-French composer, of Jewish background.
Biography
Kosma was born József Kozma in Budapest, where his parents taught stenography and typing. He had a brother,
Akos. A maternal relative was the photographer László Moholy-Nagy, and another relative was the conductor Georg
Solti. He started to play the piano at age 5, and later took piano lessons. At the age of 11, he wrote his first opera,
Christmas in the Trenches. After completing his education at the Gymnasium Franz-Josef, he attended the Academy
of Music in Budapest, where he studied with Leo Weiner. He also studied with Béla Bartók at the Liszt Academy,
receiving diplomas in composition and conducting. He won a grant to study in Berlin in 1928, where he met Lilli
Apel, another musician, whom he later married. Kosma also met and studied with Hanns Eisler in Berlin. He also
became acquainted with Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel.
Kosma and his wife emigrated to Paris in 1933. Eventually, he met Jacques Prévert, who introduced him to Jean
Renoir. During World War II and the Occupation of France, Kosma was placed under house arrest in the
Alpes-Maritimes region, and was banned from composition. However, Prévert managed to arrange for Kosma to
contribute music for films, with other composers fronting for him. Under this arrangement he wrote the music for
Les Enfants du Paradis (1945), made under the occupation, but released after the liberation. Among his other credits
are the scores to La Grande Illusion (1937), The Rules of the Game (1939) and Le Testament du docteur Cordelier
(The Doctor's Horrible Experiment; telefilm, 1959). He was also known for writing the standard classical-jazz piece
"Les feuilles mortes" ("Autumn Leaves"), with French lyrics by Jacques Prévert, and later English lyrics by Johnny
Mercer, which was derived from music in Marcel Carné's film Les Portes de la Nuit (1946).
Kosma's mother and brother were killed by the Arrow Cross Nazi auxiliaries in 1944. Kosma himself was wounded
in an explosion in August 1944 in France. His father survived the war, and died in 1957. Joseph Kosma died outside
Paris in 1969 and was buried in the Montmartre Cemetery.

Born Francis Albert Lai
April 6, 1932
Nice, France
Francis Lai (born April 26, 1932, Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, France) is a French accordionist, and composer noted for
his film scores.
While in his twenties, Francis Lai left home and went to Paris where he became part of the lively Montmartre music
scene. In 1965 he met filmmaker Claude Lelouch and was hired to help write the score for the film, Un homme et
une femme (A Man and A Woman). Released in 1966, the film was a major international success, earning a number
of Academy Awards, and for the young Francis Lai, a Golden Globe Award nomination for "Best Original Score".
This initial success brought more opportunities to work for the film industry both in his native France as well as in
Great Britain and the United States. He is known for his support of Mireille Mathieu in many compositions and
recordings. In 1969, he wrote the score for director René Clément's film, Rider On The Rain ("Le Passager de la
Pluie"). It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc in September 1971.[1]
In 1970 Francis Lai won the Academy Award for Best Music, Original Score and the Golden Globe Award for Best
Original Score for the film Love Story. In the United States, the soundtrack album went to No. 2 in the Billboard
album charts and the film's theme, "Where Do I Begin" was a hit single with lyrics by Carl Sigman for traditional
pop singer Andy Williams. The song would also be recorded successfully by Lai himself with a full orchestra and by
Henry Mancini and Shirley Bassey. Francis Lai also wrote the music for the 1978 Love Story sequel titled Oliver's
Story.
Lai has also had success with music written for softcore erotic films like Emmanuelle 2 (1975) and Bilitis (1977).

Marcel Landowski
Marcel François Paul Landowski (18 February 1915 – 23 December 1999) was a French composer, biographer
and arts administrator.
Born at Pont-l'Abbé, Finistère, Brittany, he was the son of French sculptor Paul Landowski and great-grandson of the
composer Henri Vieuxtemps.
As an infant he showed early musical promise, and studied piano under Marguerite Long. He entered the Paris
Conservatoire in 1935 where one of his teachers was Pierre Monteux.
Landowski's greatest musical influence was Arthur Honegger. His entire output (including four symphonies, several
concertos, operas and a Mass) bears testimony to Honegger's impact. Landowski went on to write a biography of his
mentor.
Between the 1940s and the 1960s, Landowski composed the scores for several dozen films, most notably Gigi
(1949).
Landowski eschewed the avant-garde approaches to music of his contemporaries, preferring a more conservative
style. In 1966, France's Cultural Affairs minister André Malraux appointed Landowski as the ministry's director of
music, a controversial appointment made in the teeth of opposition from the then ascendant modernists, led by Pierre
Boulez.[1] One of his first acts was the establishment, in 1967, of the Orchestre de Paris. He also championed
France's regional orchestras at a time when interest in them appeared to be waning.[2]
He died in hospital in Paris in 1999, aged 84.

Born Michel Jean Legrand

24 February 1932
Paris, France

Jazz pianist
Michel Jean Legrand (born 24 February 1932, in Bécon-les-Bruyères in the Paris suburbs) is a French musical
composer, arranger, conductor, and pianist. His father Raymond Legrand was a conductor and composer renowned
for hits such as Irma la douce and his mother, Marcelle Der Mikaëlian (sister of conductor Jacques Hélian), who
married Legrand Senior in 1929, was descended from the Armenian bourgeoisie.[1]
Legrand is a prolific composer, having written over 200 film and television scores in addition to many memorable
songs.[2] He is best known for his often haunting film music and scores, such as The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)
and The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) featuring the song "The Windmills of Your Mind" for which he won his first
Academy Award.[3]
Career
Legrand has composed more than two hundred film and television scores and several musicals and has made well
over a hundred albums. He has won three Oscars (out of 13 nominations) and five Grammys and has been nominated
for an Emmy. He was twenty-two when his first album, I Love Paris, became one of the best-selling instrumental
albums ever released. He is a virtuoso jazz and classical pianist and an accomplished arranger and conductor who
performs with orchestras all over the world.
He studied music at the Paris Conservatoire from 1943-50 (ages 11–18), working with, among others, Nadia
Boulanger, who also taught many other composers, including Aaron Copland and Philip Glass, and Ástor Piazzolla.
Legrand graduated with top honors as both a composer and a pianist.[1]

Jazz recordings
Legrand has also contributed significant work in jazz.[4] While on a visit to the U.S. in 1958, Legrand collaborated
with such musicians as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Phil Woods, Ben Webster, Hank Jones, and Art
Farmer in an album of inventive orchestrations of jazz standards titled Legrand Jazz. The following year, back in
Paris with bassist Guy Pedersen and percussionist Gus Wallez, he recorded an album of Paris-themed songs arranged
for jazz piano trio, titled Paris Jazz Piano. Nearly a decade later he recorded At Shelly's Manne-Hole (1968), an
exciting live trio session with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, in which four of the compositions
were improvised on the spot. Legrand also provided an odd scat vocal on "My Funny Valentine." Legrand returned
to his role as jazz arranger for the Stan Getz album Communications '72 and resumed his collaboration with Phil
Woods on Jazz Le Grand (1979) and After the Rain (1982); then, he collaborated with violinist Stephane Grappelli
on an album in 1992. Not as well received as his earlier work in the field of jazz was a 1994 album for LaserLight
titled Michel Plays Legrand. More recently, in 2002, he recorded a masterful solo jazz piano album reworking
fourteen of his classic songs, Michel Legrand by Michel Legrand. His jazz piano style is virtuosic and eclectic,
drawing upon such influences as Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, and Bill Evans.
A number of his songs, including "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?," "Watch What Happens," "The
Summer Knows," and "You Must Believe in Spring," have become jazz standards covered frequently by other
artists.
Eclecticism
During various periods of creative work, Legrand became a conductor for orchestras in St. Petersburg, Vancouver,
Montreal, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Denver. He recorded more than one hundred albums with international musical
stars (spanning the genres of jazz, variety, and classical) and worked with such diverse musicians as Phil Woods,
Ray Charles, Claude Nougaro, Perry Como, Neil Diamond, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Lena Horne, James
Ingram, Jack Jones, Kiri te Kanawa, Tamara Gverdciteli, Frankie Laine, Tereza Kesovija, Johnny Mathis, Jessye
Norman, Diana Ross, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Sarah Vaughan, Shirley Bassey, Regine Velasquez, and
Natalie Dessay.
Legrand has also recorded classical piano pieces by Erik Satie and American composers such as Amy Beach, George
Gershwin, Aaron Copland, John Cage, and Conlon Nancarrow. He is a prolific recorder of jazz, popular and classical
music albums, have released over one hundred.[5]
His sister, Christiane Legrand, was a member of the Swingle Singers, and his niece Victoria Legrand is a member of
the indie rock duo Beach House.[6]
Film scores
Legrand is known principally as a composer of innovative music for films, composing film scores (about two
hundred to date) for directors Jean-Luc Godard, Richard Brooks, Claude Lelouch, Clint Eastwood, Robert Altman,
Joseph Losey, and many others. Legrand himself appears and performs in Agnès Varda's French New Wave classic,
Cleo from 5 to 7 (1961). After his songs appeared in Jacques Demy's films The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and
The Young Girls of Rochefort (1966), Legrand became famous worldwide. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was a
sung-through musical in which all the dialogue was set to music, a revolutionary concept at the time.
Hollywood soon became interested in Legrand after The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, bombarding him with requests to
compose music for films. Having begun to collaborate with Hollywood, Legrand continued to work there for many
years. Among his best-known scores are those for The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), which features the hit song
"The Windmills of Your Mind", and Summer of '42 (1971), which features another hit song, "The Summer Knows."
Legrand also wrote the score for Orson Welles's last-completed film, F for Fake (1974).

Music charts
Legrand's instrumental version of the theme from Brian's Song charted for eight weeks in 1972, peaking at #56.[7]
Currently, Legrand divides his time between America and France.

Musical theatre
Legrand composed the score for the musical Amour, which premiered in 2002 on Broadway and was translated into
English by Jeremy Sams and was directed by James Lapine.[8] This musical was his Broadway debut, and while it
ran for only 17 performances and 31 previews, it garnered a loyal fan base due to its much-praised cast album on
Ghostlight Records, and subsequent multiple Tony Award nominations (2003), including Best Score for Michel
Legrand and Best Actress for its leading actress Melissa Errico.[9]
Legrand continued his collaboration with Errico to the present day, appearing at such jazz venues as Dizzy's at
Lincoln Center. Though he has rarely done this for any solo artist, Michel Legrand arranged, conducted and
accompanied Errico with a 100-piece symphony on her CD "Legrand Affair" (released in October 2011 on
Ghostlight Records) featuring his songs, hidden French gems, as well as one new song with lyrics by Alan and
Marilyn Bergman.[10] The CD was produced by Phil Ramone[11] and is featured in Ramone's biography "Making
Records."
The world premiere of the new musical Marguerite from Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, the creators
of Les Misérables and Miss Saigon, included music by Michel Legrand and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer. Marguerite
is set during World War II in occupied Paris, and was inspired by the romantic novel La Dame aux camélias by
Alexandre Dumas, fils. It premiered in May 2008 at the Haymarket Theatre, London and was directed by Jonathan
Kent.[12] [13]

Genres Classical, film music
Occupations Composer, conductor, orchestrator
Years active 1995-present
Jérôme Leroy (born on September 2, 1981) is a film composer, orchestrator and conductor currently living in Los
Angeles, California, U.S..
Early life and family

Jérôme Leroy was born on September 2, 1981, in Paris, France. He was first introduced to music as a young child
playing the piano. He started serious study and practice at age five and at age fourteen turned to composition.
Leroy attended high school at Lycée Claude Monet in Paris, where he took traditional music history classes with
Annick Chartreux, a French conductor and composer, and performed in numerous concerts as a pianist and singer.
The growth of the Internet in these years pushed him to keep in touch with new technologies, giving him useful
technical skills early on.
After having written various chamber pieces in his teens (his minimalist duology, 2017, was premiered at the
Conservatoire Municipal de Paris Maurice Ravel and at Lycée Claude Monet in 1999), he applied in 2001 for the
Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, for which he was awarded the Berklee Entering Student
Scholarship.

Berklee College of Music

At Berklee, his Invention in G was selected by the Berklee
Composition Faculty to be premiered by pianist Marti Epstein, and, in
2004, his string quartet Triage was selected to be performed by the
world-class Esterhazy Quartet at Berklee's David Friend Recital Hall.
Leroy used his experience as orchestra manager to found the first
student-run classical orchestra[1] at Berklee, which produced its first
recording in April 2004. In fact, Leroy carefully planned out the
orchestra's structure so that it would continue after his graduation.

While in Boston, he also joined a community theater company, The
Orchestra at Berklee.
Longwood Players. In the Spring of 2004, he was Orchestra Manager
and Arranger on their production of Stephen Sondheim's Company,
and was appointed conductor in Spring 2005 on their production of La Cage aux Folles.[2]
Hollywood
In May 2005, Jérôme Leroy graduated from Berklee College of Music. Encouraged by his peers and teachers, he
decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the field. Once on the West Coast of the United States, he
started working as a technician for various composers. This led him to meet John Frizzell, who eventually gave him
his first orchestration opportunity on a TV film (A Little Thing Called Murder), and a few weeks later on a feature
film (Stay Alive).
In April 2006, Leroy started working for composer and orchestrator William Ross, (Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets, Ladder 49, Tuck Everlasting), and did music preparation on a score composed by Alan Silvestri. Around the
same period, he also re-orchestrated a suite from Conan The Barbarian (Basil Poledouris), to be performed under the
composer's direction in July 2006, at the second International Film Music Conference in Ubeda, Spain.
Leroy attended Summer conducting courses at UCLA Extension in 2006, where he studied with Eimar Noone. He is
also the creator of CreateFilmScores.net, an independent weblog which provides daily Film Scoring technical news
to its readers, started in October 2006.[3]
Since then, Leroy focused his work on movie music orchestration with First Born in 2006, Primeval and The
Reaping, composed by John Frizzell, and Feast and Finding Rintintin composed by Steve Edwards in 2007. The
same year Leroy orchestrated the movie music Say It in Russian composed by Pinar Toprak.

DJ Mehdi on Myspace
Mehdi Favéris-Essadi (20 January 1977 – 13 September 2011[2] ), better known by his stage name DJ Mehdi, was
a French hip hop and electro producer of mixed French and Tunisian origin.
Biography
Mehdi was born of Tunisian background in Hauts-de-Seine, the northwestern suburbs of Paris. He was a former disc
jockey of the groups Different Teep (ex-group of Manu Key & Lil Jahson), Ideal J and former member of the
collective the Mafia K'1 Fry. He was also a long time the quasi-appointed producer of the group 113 and carried out
the nearly all the production of the albums for Different Teep and Karlito. Amid his work, Mehdi had remixed
various electronic acts and composition soundtracks for many French and international films.
After having been recognized for his efforts and budding into one of the French underground hip hop music scene’s
premier producers, DJ Mehdi henceforth pushed boundaries by mixing hip hop and electronic music. He
collaborated with such notable artists as Daft Punk, Cassius, MC Solaar, Futura 2000, Asian Dub Foundation and
Chromeo among others.[3] “Coming from a rap music background, it’s always nice to collaborate within other music
genres…Paris is very inspiring because a lot of people are making great stuff, music and in other arts related fields
also. My music and philosophies revolve around beats and blues, that’s how I would try to describe it.”
Signing to cross-genre label Ed Banger Records, Mehdi and Pedro Winter (aka Busy P) were working on various
disco-hop sounds the two as far back as 1997. Together they hosted a very successful monthly night at former Paris
nightspot Pulp. “I like to be the DJ, I love it so much. I love to try new things. You would never get into this business
to be bored, or you would hope not.”
Mehdi released his first full-length LP in 2002 The Story of Espion, followed by his second album, Lucky Boy, in
August 2006. With the popularity of cross genre hip hop into such areas as indie and electronic music, popularization
by Timbaland and other labels from the United States in more recent years had assisted to bridge the gap between
dance genres.
DJ Mehdi 90
Mehdi's single "I Am Somebody" was used in a 2007 American commercial for XM radio. More recently, DJ Mehdi
was part of a group of friends and DJ's collectively known as "Club 75" which includes Cassius, Busy P and Xavier
de Rosnay (Justice). He launched a project together with Riton in 2010 that was titled "Carte Blanche".
Mehdi died on September 13, 2011, when the roof of his Paris home collapsed while he was celebrating Riton's
birthday with a group of friends on the roof. Mehdi was the only fatality, while three others were injured.[4] [5]

Paul Misraki 92
Paul Misraki
Paul Misraki (January 28, 1908 – October 29, 1998) was a French composer of popular music and film scores. Over
the course of over 60 years, Misraki wrote the music to 130 films,[1] scoring works by directors like Jean Renoir,
Claude Chabrol, Jacques Becker, Jean-Pierre Melville, Jean-Luc Godard, Henri-Georges Clouzot, Orson Welles,
Luis Buñuel and Roger Vadim.
For his work, he was made a Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur.
Biography and Film Career

Born Paul Misrachi[2] in Constantinople, Turkey (now Istanbul) into a French Jewish family of Italian descent,
Misraki showed an early aptitude for music. He went to Paris to study classical composition, and by the 1930s had
become an established jazz pianist, arranger and writer of popular songs; around this time he began composing film
scores, with his first known work being for Jean Renoir's first sound film, On purge bébé, for which he was
uncredited.
Like Renoir, Misraki fled France during the World War II German occupation. After a brief stay in Argentina,
Misraki ended up in Hollywood, where he composed the music to all of Renoir's American films. After the war,
Misraki returned to France, working busily throughout the 1950s, a period when he was routinely scoring half a
dozen or more films a year. These included numerous films by Yves Allégret and Jean Boyer, as well as two films
by Jacques Becker (Ali Baba et les quarante voleurs and Montparnasse 19) and Orson Welles' Mr. Arkadin.
The 1960s saw Misraki slow down slightly, writing only 2-3 scores a year. During this period, he worked with many
of the leading French directors of the period, including Jean-Luc Godard (on Alphaville), Jean-Pierre Melville (on Le
Doulos) and Claude Chabrol, for whom he scored several films.
Misraki composed intermittently throughout the last two decades of his life. He composed his last score at age 85;[3]
by this point he had been working almost exclusively in television for several years. He died on natural causes at age
90 in Paris.
Career as Composer of Popular Songs

Misraki first found acclaim as a composer and lyricist of popular songs. His first hit was 1934's "Tout va tres bien,"
and during his careers in France, America and Argentina he wrote successful songs in French, English and Spanish.
In 1998,at the age of 90 years old,Mister Misraki collaborates with Singer Raquel Bitton on her American tribute to
his songs in a CD entitled "In a Jazzy mood".
Other interests
Outside of music, Misraki was interested in religion, Ufology and extraterrestrial life. Misraki was an early
proponent of the ancient astronaut hypothesis. In 1962 Misraki published his book Les Extraterrestres in France[4]
which was later reprinted in English under the title of Flying Saucers Through The Ages in 1965,[5] he first published
the book under the pen name of Paul Thomas as he believed that if his real identity was revealed his reputation as a
musician may of been damaged, however he later revealed his identity and the book was published under his real
name under a number of American editions of the book. In the book Misraki claimed that angels from the Bible were
aliens, that the Bible and other ancient texts are filled with many UFO flying saucer sightings, and that throughout
human history there was intervention with extraterrestrial aliens. Misraki was also one of the first authors to suggest
that apparitions may be UFO related phenomena.[6] The Ufologist Jacques Vallée studied some of Misraki's UFO
theories and visited Misraki in Paris in September 1962 to discuss them with him, in his journals Vallée described
Misraki as a "deeply reflective man" and a "religious scholar".[7]
Paul Misraki 93
Misraki was also a supporter of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and his theory of omega point, and wrote a number of
papers on his work.[8]

Bernard Peiffer 95
Bernard Peiffer
Bernard Peiffer (pie-fer) (October 23, 1922 – September 7, 1976) was a French jazz pianist, composer, and teacher.
His nickname was "Le Most", for his piano skills.
Life
Born in Épinal, France, Peiffer was raised in a musical family, with his father and uncle playing the violin and the
organ, respectively. Starting piano at age nine, he studied under Pierre Maire, a student of Nadia Boulanger, and
quickly demonstrated his brilliance by being able to play back long sections of classical music by ear.
After winning the 1st Prize in Piano at the Paris Conservatory, Peiffer began his professional career at the age of
twenty, playing with Andre Ekyan and Django Reinhardt.
During World War II, he joined the French resistance after he witnessed the execution of a friend by the Gestapo in
the streets of Paris. Soon afterward he was captured, and was incarcerated for over a year[1] .
In the early 1950s he began a successful career, playing with Django[2] , leading his own quintet, composing film
soundtracks, and essentially achieving celebrity status among the clubs of Paris, Monte Carlo and Nice, and
eventually becoming nationally renowned. He released recordings on the EmArcy, Decca and Laurie Records labels.
He moved to Philadelphia in 1954[3] with his wife Corine and daughter Rebecca. The subsequent loss of his third
daughter (his first was from a previous marriage with singer Monique Dozo) profoundly affected him, resulting in
the beautiful "Poem for a Lonely Child"[1] . The year 1962 saw the birth of his first son (and final child), Stephen.
During his first years in America he achieved considerable success, performing at Carnegie Hall, Birdland, and the
Newport Jazz Festival. During this time, critic Leonard Feather compared his playing to that of Art Tatum[1] . He
released his last commercial album in 1965 and, after having kidney surgery a few years later, restricted himself to
performing and teaching, mainly in Philadelphia. His students included Uri Caine[4] , Sumi Tonooka, Tom Lawton,
and Don Glanden[5] .
His last major appearance was at the 1974 New York/Newport Festival at Carnegie Hall[1] .
He died on September 7, 1976, aged 53.
A posthumous release, entitled Formidable...!, that spans twenty years of his career was released in 2006, produced
by his student Don Glanden and son Stephen.

counterpoint. He did the string arrangements for Mink DeVille's Le Chat Bleu album, as well as orchestrating the
backing parts to some French pop singles in the mid- to late 1960s, including those of Erick Saint-Laurent and yé-yé
girls Christine Pilzer and Monique Thubert.
In 1973 he composed La leçon de Michette, a delicious, short song: it was so famous in Italy, because it had been
used for a soundtrack of a well-known Carosello (the Italian TV spot broadcast) from 1973 to 1976.
1979 saw his first major film soundtrack commission (Alexandro Jodorowsky's Tusk), but he had been releasing solo
records at least a decade earlier, including at least four for the Chappell Music Library, as well as his album Chez
Jean-Claude Petit, released in the early 1970s. In addition, he was a frequent collaborator with French film music
composer Jack Arel: the pair's most well-known production, "Psychedelic Portrait", was featured in an episode of the
cult TV series The Prisoner. His highly acclaimed score for Cyrano de Bergerac remains perhaps his best known
work internationally. In 1995 he was nominated for a Victoires de la Musique award in soundtrack of the year for
L'Etudiante Etranger.[1]

Hubert Rostaing
Hubert Rostaing (September 17, 1918 – June 10, 1990) was a jazz clarinetist and tenor saxophonist. He also did
film composition and classical music.
He began in Algiers with the "Red Hotters" and later moved to Paris. He might be best known for playing clarinet or
saxophone in Django Reinhardt's quintet. His most known performance in that role might be his playing clarinet on
Nuages. He later led a band, but after 1962 left jazz for film composing and classical music. He was orchestrator,
conductor, or arranger for over 20 French films.

François de Roubaix
François de Roubaix (April 3, 1939, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine – November 22, 1975, Tenerife, Canary
Islands) was a French film score composer.
Roubaix did not receive any formal education in music, but began studying jazz on his own at age 15, forming a
band and learning trombone as an autodidact. His father, filmmaker Paul de Roubaix, made educational films, and
offered to let François compose scores for them. His first film score was for a 1961 film by Robert Enrico; through
the late 1960s and early 1970s he scored films for Enrico, Jose Giovanni, Jean-Pierre Melville, Jean-Pierre Mocky,
and Yves Boisset. Notable in his style is his use of folk elements, as well as electronic musical instruments such as
synthesizers and early drum machines. Roubaix had a home studio where he would overdub parts until he was
satisfied with the result. He died in 1975 in a diving accident; in 1976, his score for Le Vieux Fusil was awarded a
César Award.

Éric Serra (born on 9 September 1959) is a French composer. He has often worked on the movies of Luc Besson.
Biography
Éric Serra's father Claude was a famous French songwriter in the 1950s and '60s, and, as such, Éric was exposed to
music and its production at a young age. His mother died when he was just seven years old. In the early '80s, Serra
met director Luc Besson and was asked to score his first movie Le Dernier Combat (1983). Serra has scored all of
Besson's directed movies to date, except Angel-A (2005) (scored by Anja Garbarek), and several that Besson has
written such as Wasabi.
In 1995, Éric Serra was chosen to compose the score to the James Bond film GoldenEye, and produced a much more
modern-sounding avant-garde soundtrack compared to previous Bond films. It met with mixed reviews from film
critics. Serra's score is often criticized by Bond fans, and is considered the farthest departure from a traditional Bond
score and the most inappropriate in the series history. The producers later hired John Altman to provide the music for
the tank chase in St. Petersburg. Serra's original track for that sequence can still be found on the soundtrack as "A
Pleasant Drive In St. Petersburg".
Occasionally, and mainly due to his album released by this name, he is known in credits as RXRA (pronounced like
his name, in French). An example is "Little Light of Love" on The Fifth Element soundtrack, which is credited to
RXRA.
Other projects
From 1980 to 1988, Éric Serra played bass guitar for French singer Jacques Higelin.
Éric Serra is also a songwriter, notably having written "It's Only Mystery" for the film Subway and "My Lady Blue"
for Le Grand Bleu. In 1988, Éric Serra released an album of rock music titled RXRA which resembles the artist's
name when pronounced as initial letters in French.
Most recently he composed the music for the new Criss Angel/Cirque Du Soleil show 'Criss Angel: Believe' to open
at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, in October 2008.
Éric Serra 111
Onscreen appearances
Serra has spent little time in front of the camera, choosing to work behind the scenes instead. However, on French
television he has made a number of appearances performing music, and notably appeared in the Luc Besson movie
Subway in which he plays 'Enrico the bassist'.
Film scores
Éric Serra has created the scores for the following movies:
• Arthur and the War of the Two Worlds (2010)
• The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010)
• Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard (2009)

William Sheller 112
William Sheller
William Sheller (born 9 July 1946) is a French classical composer and singer.
Biography
William Sheller was born William Hand in Paris.
He left school at 16 to study composition with teacher Yves Margat (himself a student of Gabriel Fauré) and later
harmony, fugue and counterpoint at the Paris conservatoire. He turned to pop music after hearing the Beatles. Since
then, he has had a successful career both as a classical composer and as a pop singer. His works often mix both
genres. For example, some of his songs include carefully crafted orchestral passages (the Baroque introduction to Le
nouveau monde) as well as instruments that are seldom found in pop music (such as a horn in Les miroirs dans la
boue and a clarinet in Fier et fou de vous). On the other hand, his Lux æterna is written for orchestra, choir and rock
band. He has toured several times with transcriptions of his songs for voice and orchestra as well as for voice and
piano quintet. Additionally, he has also written film music and songs or arrangements for other artists (Dalida,
Barbara... etc.).[1] [2]
The "Introit" from his Lux æterna (1972) was heavily sampled for the title track from Deltron 3030 (2000), produced
by Dan the Automator.

Martial Solal
Martial Solal (born August 23, 1927,
Algiers, French Algeria) is a French
jazz pianist and composer, who is
probably most widely known for the
music he wrote for Jean-Luc Godard's
debut feature film À bout de souffle
(1960).
Biography
Solal was the son of an opera singer
and piano teacher, who learned the
instrument from the age of six. After
settling in Paris in 1950, he soon began
Martial Solal in 2006, with his Newdecaband
working with leading musicians
including Django Reinhardt and
expatriates from the United States like Sidney Bechet and Don Byas. He formed a quartet (occasionally also leading
a big band) in the late 1950s, although he had been recording as a leader since 1953. Solal then began composing
film music, eventually providing over twenty scores.[1]
In 1963 he made a much admired appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island; the Newport '63 album
purporting to be a recording of this gig is actually a studio recreation. At this time, his regular trio featured bassist
Guy Pedersen and drummer Daniel Humair. From 1968 he regularly performed and recorded with Lee Konitz in
Europe and the United States of America.
In recent years, Martial Solal has continued to perform and record with
his trio. Throughout his career he has performed solo, and during
1993-94 he gave thirty solo concerts for French Radio, a selection of
performances from which were subsequently released in a 2-CD set
Improvise Pour Musique France by JMS Records.
Solal has also written a piano method book entitled Jazz Works.
Recently, the Gruppen review [2] published in its issue of January 2011
an exceptional "Interview" of a dozen pages in which Martial Solal
1988
returns on his work as eternal "researcher in jazz. "

Germaine Tailleferre
Germaine Tailleferre (19 April 1892 - 7 November 1983) was a French composer and the only female member of
the famous composers' group Les Six.
Biography
Born Marcelle Taillefesse at Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, Val-de-Marne, France, as a young woman she changed her last
name to "Tailleferre" to spite her father who had refused to support her musical studies. She studied piano with her
mother at home, composing short works of her own, after which she began studying at the Paris Conservatory where
she met Louis Durey, Francis Poulenc, Darius Milhaud, Georges Auric and Arthur Honegger. At the Paris
Conservatory her skills were awarded with prizes in several categories. Most notably Tailleferre wrote 18 short
works in the Petit livre de harpe de Madame Tardieu for Caroline Tardieu, the Conservatory’s Assistant Professor of
Harp.
With her new friends, she soon was associating with the artistic crowd in the Paris districts of Montmartre and
Montparnasse including the sculptor Emmanuel Centore who would eventually marry her sister Jeanne. It was in the
Montparnasse atelier of one of her painter friends where the initial idea for Les Six began. The publication of Jean
Cocteau's manifest Le coq et l'Arlequin resulted in Henri Collet's media articles that led to instant fame for the group,
of which Tailleferre was the only female member.
In 1923, Tailleferre began to spend a great deal of time with Maurice Ravel at his home in Monfort-L'Amaury. Ravel
encouraged her to enter the Prix de Rome Competition. In 1925, she married Ralph Barton, an American caricaturist,
and moved to Manhattan, New York. She remained in the United States until 1927 when she and her husband
returned to France. They divorced shortly thereafter.
Tailleferre wrote many of her most important works during the 1920s, including her 1st Piano Concerto, The Harp
Concertino, the Ballets "Le marchand d'oiseaux" (the most frequently performed ballet in the repertoire of the Ballets
Suédois during the 1920s) and "La nouvelle Cythère" which was commissioned by Diaghilev for the ill-fated 1929
season of the famous Ballets Russes, and "Sous le ramparts d'Athènes" in collaboration with Paul Claudel, as well as
several pioneering film scores, including "B'anda" in which she used African themes.
The 1930s was even more fruitful, with the Concerto for Two Pianos, Choeurs, Saxophones and Orchestra, the
Violin Concerto, The Operas "Zoulaïna" and "Le marin de Bolivar",and her masterwork, "La cantate de Narcisse" in
collaboration with Paul Valéry. Her work in film music included "Le petit chose" by Maurice Cloche and a series of
documentaries.
At the outbreak of World War II, she was forced to leave the majority of her scores at her home in Grasse, with the
exception of her recently completed Three Études for Piano and Orchestra. Escaping across Spain to Portugal, she
found passage on a boat that brought her to America where she lived the war years in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
After the war, in 1946, she returned to her home in France where she composed orchestral and chamber music, plus
numerous other works including the ballets "Paris-Magie" (with Lise Delarme) and "Parisiana" (for the Royal Ballet
of Copenhaugen), The Operas "Il était un petit navire" (with Henri Jeanson), "Dolores", "La petite sirène" (with
Philip Soupault, based on Hans Christian Andersen's story "The Little Mermaid") and "Le maître" (to a libretto by
Ionesco), The Musical Comedy "Parfums", The Concerto des vaines paroles, for baritone voice, piano and orchestra,
the Concerto for Soprano and Orchestra, the Concertino for Flute, Piano and Orchestra, the Second Piano Concerto,
the Concerto for Two Guitars and Orchestra, her Second Sonata for Violin and Piano, her Sonata for Harp as well as
an impressive number of film and television scores. The majority of this music was not published until after her
death.
In 1976, she accepted the post of accompanist for a children's music and movement class at the École alsacienne, a
private school in Paris. During the last period of her life, she concentrated mainly on smaller forms, due to increasing
problems with arthritis in her hands. She nevertheless produced the Sonate champêtre for oboe, clarinet, bassoon,
and piano, The Sonata for Two Pianos, Choral and Variations for Two Pianos or Orchestra, a series of children's
songs (on texts by Jean Tardieu) and pieces for young pianists. Her last major work was the Concerto de la fidelité
pour coloratura soprano and orchestra, which was premièred at the Paris Opera the year before her death.
Germaine Tailleferre continued to compose right up until a few weeks before her death, on 7 November 1983 in
Paris. She is buried in Quincy-Voisins, Seine-et-Marne, France.

Alexandre Tansman
Alexandre Tansman (12 June 1897, Łódź – 15 November 1986, Paris) was a Polish-born composer and virtuoso
pianist. He spent his early years in his native Poland, but lived in France for most of his life. His music is primarily
neoclassical, drawing on his Polish and Jewish heritage as well as his French musical influences.[1]
Early life and heritage

Tansman was born and raised in the Polish city of Łódź during the era when Poland did not exist as an independent
state, being part of Tsarist Russia.
The composer wrote the following about his childhood and heritage in a 1980 letter to an American researcher:
"... my father's family came from Pinsk and I knew of a famous rabbi related to him. My father died very
young, and there were certainly two, or more branches of the family, as ours was quite wealthy: we had in
Lodz several domestics, two governesses (French and German) living with us etc. My father had a sister who
settled in Israel and married there. I met her family on my [concert] tours in Israel. ... My family was, as far as
religion is concerned, quite liberal, not practicing. My mother was the daughter of Prof. Leon Gourvitch, quite
a famous man."
Career
Though he began his musical studies at the Łódź Conservatory, his doctoral study was in law at the University of
Warsaw. Shortly after completing his studies, Tansman moved to Paris, where his musical ideas were accepted and
encouraged by mentors and musical influences Igor Stravinsky and Maurice Ravel, as opposed to the more
conservative musical climate in his native Poland. While in Paris, Tansman associated with a crowd of foreign-born
musicians known as the École de Paris; though Honegger and Milhaud tried to persuade him to join Les Six, he
declined, stating a need for creative independence. (Tansman later wrote a biography of Stravinsky that was
extremely well received.)
Tansman always described himself as a Polish composer, though he spoke French at home and married a French
pianist, Colette Cras.
In 1941, fleeing Europe as his Jewish background put him in danger with Hitler's rise to power, he moved to Los
Angeles (thanks to the efforts of his friend Charlie Chaplin in getting him a visa), where he made the acquaintance of
Arnold Schoenberg. Tansman composed the score for at least two Hollywood movies: Flesh and Fantasy, starring
Barbara Stanwyck, and a biopic of the Australian medical researcher Sister Elizabeth Kenny, starring Rosalind
Russell. He scored six films in all. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 1946 for Best Music, Scoring of a
Dramatic or Comedy Picture, for Paris Underground (there was a huge field of 21 nominations, and the winner was
Miklós Rózsa for Spellbound).
Though Alexandre Tansman returned to Paris after the war, his disappearance from the European musical scene left
him behind the musical currents of the time, and no longer fresh in the minds of the public, which slowed his
previously fast-rising career. No longer in tune with the French fashions, which had moved on to the avant-garde
style, Tansman returned to his musical roots, drawing on his Jewish and Polish background to create some of his
greatest works. During this time he began to reestablish connections to Poland, though his career and family kept
him in France, where he lived until his death in 1986.
According to the Paris-based Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs, Tansman used the name "Stan Alson" when he
composed jazz music.
Today the Alexandre Tansman Competition for promising musicians is held in his honor every other year in his
birthplace of Łódź, in order to promote his music and the local culture.
Music
Tansman was not only an internationally recognized composer, but was also a virtuoso pianist. From 1932-33
Tansman performed worldwide for audiences including Emperor Hirohito of Japan and Mahatma Gandhi; he was
regarded as one of the greatest Polish musicians. Later he performed five concert tours in the United States,
including as a soloist under Serge Koussevitsky with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as well as having a thriving
career in France as a concert performer.
Tansman's music is written in the French neoclassical style of his adopted home, and the Polish styles of his
birthplace, drawing on his Jewish heritage. Already on the edge of musical thought when he left Poland (critics
questioned his chromatic and sometimes polytonal writing), he adopted the extended harmonies of Ravel in his work
and later was compared to Alexander Scriabin in his departure from conventional tonality.
One of Tansman's letters states that "it is obvious that I owe much to France, but anyone who has ever heard my
compositions cannot have doubt that I have been, am and forever will be a Polish composer." After Chopin,
Tansman may be the leading proponent of traditional Polish forms such as the polonaise and the mazurka; they were
inspired by and often written in homage to Chopin. For these pieces, which ranged from lighthearted miniatures to
virtuoso showpieces, Tansman drew on traditional Polish folk themes and adapted them to his distinctive
neoclassical style. However, he did not write straight settings of the folk songs themselves, as he states in a radio
interview: "I have never used an actual Polish folk song in its original form, nor have I tried to reharmonize one. I
find that modernizing a popular song spoils it. It must be preserved in its original harmonization."
He is perhaps best known for his guitar pieces, mostly written for Andrés Segovia—in particular the Suite in modo
polonico (1962), a collection of Polish dances. Segovia frequently performed the work in recordings and on tour; it is
today part of the standard repertoire. Tansman's music has been performed by musicians such as Segovia, Walter
Gieseking, José Iturbi, Jane Bathori, Joseph Szigeti, Pablo Casals, Gregor Piatigorsky, and Igor Zubkovsky and most
recently Chandos Records has increased his profile, with the start of a series of his orchestral works, recorded by the
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Oleg Caetani.

Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a musician from France.[2] [3] His musical career is split between studio
albums, collaborations and film soundtracks with a distinctive sound that is always involved. It can be recognized by
its use of a large variety of instruments; primarily the guitar, synthesizer or violin together with instruments like the
melodica, xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, accordion and typewriter. Tiersen is often mistaken as a composer of
soundtracks, himself saying "I'm not a composer and I really don't have a classical background,"[4] but his real focus
is on touring and studio albums which just happen to often be suitable for film; his most famous soundtrack for the
film Amélie was primarily made up of tracks taken from his first studio albums.[5]
Yann Tiersen 124
Biography
Tiersen was born in Brittany, France, in 1970 and received classical training at several musical academies, including
those in Rennes, Nantes, and Boulogne.[6] In the early 1980s as a teenager he was influenced by the post-punk
culture of bands like The Stooges and Joy Division.[7] He has Belgian and Norwegian origins.[8]
Before releasing scores under his own name, Tiersen recorded background music for a number of plays and short
films, such as La Vie Rêvée des Anges (1998, Erick Zonca), Alice et Martin (1998, André Téchiné), Qui Plume la
Lune? (Christine Carrière, 1999).
He rose to domestic fame upon the release of his third album, Le Phare, but remained relatively unknown outside
France until the release of his score for the film Amélie in 2001, which was a mixture of both new and previously
released material.
Tiersen favors the piano, accordion, and violin, but is also known for his experimentation and use of obscure and
found instruments like the ondes martenot and the typewriter.
Yann Tiersen's list of collaborators continues to grow album after album (see discography below for details). While
composing his fifth album, L'absente, Tiersen lent his musical talent to Françoiz Breut and Les Têtes Raides for their
own albums. His 2005 album, Les Retrouvailles, featured vocals from Stuart Staples of Tindersticks, Jane Birkin,
and Elizabeth Fraser, formerly of Cocteau Twins. Tiersen also played piano on Staples' solo album, Lucky Dog
Recordings 03-04. In 2004 he also released a collaborative CD with American singer-songwriter Shannon Wright.
His live performances vary greatly. Sometimes he is accompanied by an orchestra and many guest collaborators, like
Dominique A. Other times, he offers the more frequent minimalistic sessions, usually accompanied only by a
drummer/bassist and a guitarist, with Tiersen switching seamlessly between piano, accordion, and violin for his
lighter songs, and electric guitar for his louder pieces (where his Avant-Garde Music meet some rock sonorities).
Lately, however, he has almost banished piano, accordion and violin and focused more on his electric guitar instead,
as visible in his 2009-2010 Live Tours.[9]
Yann Tiersen was married to Belgian actress Natacha Régnier, but they have since been divorced. They have a
daughter, Lise born in 2002.
Dust Lane 2010

October 2010 saw the release of Tiersen’s sixth studio album titled Dust Lane.[10] The album was two years in the
making and was largely recorded in Ushant, France.[10] Further parts were recorded in the Philippines. The album is
preoccupied with mortality; during the recording sessions Tiersen lost his mother and a close friend.[10] The
recordings started out as simple song based tracks with Tiersen playing acoustic guitar, mandolin and bouzouki.[10]
New layers were added to the recordings creating a more complex sound. Then an array of vintage synthesisers and
electric guitars were added to create further textures.[10] The album was released by Mute Records in Europe and
Anti- Records in the US. The record was promoted in a tour beginning in October 2010, starting in New York.[11]
Tiersen has been chosen by Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival
that he will curate in December 2011 in Minehead, England.[12]

Jean Wiener 130
Jean Wiener
Jean Wiener (or Wiéner) (19 March 1896, Paris – 8 June 1982, Paris) was a French pianist and composer.
Life
Wiener was trained at the Conservatoire in Paris, where he studied alongside Darius Milhaud, and worked with Erik
Satie. He then embarked on a career as concert impresario, composer and pianist. He was the house pianist at the
Gaya bar, and later at Le Boeuf sur le Toit. In 1924 a chance encounter with Clement Doucet (who succeeded him at
Le Boeuf) brought him into the world of popular music. Already a jazz enthusiast, Wiener found fame with Doucet
in the music hall s of Europe as a piano duet, under the name "Wiener and Doucet" in which they performed classical
music, hot dance and jazz. The two friends recorded many duets between 1925 and 1937. After the end of the war in
1945, Wiener devoted himself fully to composition, notably film music (working on more than 300), as well as the
opening theme music for ORTF's film history program "History speechless" (History without words).
He was of some significance in the promotion of new music, both by his friends in the Les Six (Milhaud, Poulenc,
etc.), and by composers such as Schoenberg, Berg and Webern. His compositions involve the use of jazz informed
by French wit and elegance.
His daughter Elizabeth Wiener is an actress, singer and singer-songwriter.
Jean Wiener published his memoirs in 1978 as Allegro Appassionato.
