  • AUTUNNO in MUSICA Festival De Musique Classique
    AUTUNNO IN MUSICA Festival de musique classique 16-30 OCTOBRE 2014 Le festival Autunno in Musica fête, en 2014, sa quatrième année d’existence en prolongeant ses ambitions patrimoniales, qui font que le passé revit grâce au présent et qu’il rend le présent plus vivant. Il met, comme toujours, l’accent sur le lieu dans lequel les concerts s’inscrivent, car c’est en partie à la mémoire des compositeurs qui vécurent dans les murs de la Villa Médicis qu’il se consacre, tout en s’ouvrant à une vision renouvelée de la musique écrite entre le XVIIIe siècle et le début du XXe, entre la France et l’Italie. Cette année voisineront certaines « vedettes » du Prix de Rome, comme Claude Debussy et André Caplet, d’autres en pleine réhabilitation comme Théodore Dubois, d’autres enfin dont un vrai travail de redécouverte permet d’apprécier la qualité, comme Gaston Salvayre. Mais Autunno in Musica n’oublie pas non plus certains « refusés » du concours, qu’ils soient « non-récompensés » comme Benjamin Godard et Ernest Chausson, ou seulement second Prix de Rome comme Nadia Boulanger et – ce fut le grand scandale de 1905 – Maurice Ravel. Autunno in Musica fait aussi cette année la part belle aux femmes compositrices, telles Marie Jaëll, Henriette Renié ou encore Cécile Chaminade. Pour défendre cette musique, il fallait que soient rassemblés les meilleurs interprètes actuels, avec un intérêt particulier porté à la jeune génération, capable de lectures audacieuses et inattendues : c’est le cas du jeune harpiste soliste de l’Opéra de Paris, Emmanuel Ceysson, du Trio Arcadis (2e prix du Concours international de musique de chambre de Lyon), de la mezzo-soprano Isabelle Druet (lauréate du Concours Reine Elizabeth et plus récemment du parcours Rising Star), ainsi que du Quatuor Giardini et du pianiste David Bismuth.

    THÉODORE DUBOIS: CHAMBER MUSIC by William Melton (Clément-François) Théodore Dubois was born in Rosnay (Marne) on 24 August 1837 into an unmusical family. His father was in fact a basket-maker, but saw to it that a second-hand harmonium was purchased so that his son could receive his first music-lessons from the village cooper, M. Dissiry, an amateur organist. The pupil showed indications of strong musical talent and at the age of thirteen he was taken on by the maître de chapelle at Rheims Cathedral, Louis Fanart, a pupil of the noted composers Jean-François Lesueur and Alexandre-Étienne Choron (the boy made the ten-mile journey from home to Rheims and back each week on foot). When the Paris Conservatoire accepted Théodore as a student in 1853, it was the mayor of Rosnay, the Viscount de Breuil, who supplied the necessary funds (prompted by Théodore’s grandfather, a teacher who also served as secretary in the mayor’s office). While holding organ posts at Les Invalides and Sainte Clotilde, Dubois embraced studies with Antoine François Marmontel (piano), François Benoist (organ), François Bazin (harmony) and Ambroise Thomas (composition). Dubois graduated from the Conservatoire in 1861, having taken first prize in each of his classes. He also earned the Grand Prix de Rome with his cantata Atala, of which the Revue et Gazette musicale wrote: The cantata of M. Dubois is certainly one of the best we have heard. The poetic text of Roussy lacked strong dramatic situations but still furnished sufficient means for M. Dubois to display his real talent to advantage.

  • De L'opéra-Comique
    Adolphe Adam, porte-parole de «l’école française» de l’opéra-comique. Inventaire et étude synthétique de ses critiques musicales (1833-1856) Matthieu Cailliez (Université Grenoble Alpes) [email protected] La plupart des articles biographiques consacrés au compositeur Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) notent que l’auteur des opéras-comiques Le Chalet et Le Postillon de Lonjumeau, et du ballet Giselle, fils de Jean-Louis Adam (1758-1848), professeur de piano au Conservatoire de Paris pendant quarante-six ans, se dédie à la critique musicale à partir de 1848, après avoir perdu sa fortune dans la tentative avortée d’instaurer un nouveau théâtre lyrique à Paris, l’Opéra-National. Cette affirmation mérite d’être relativisée. S’il est vrai qu’Adam collabore activement entre 1848 et 1856 avec deux quotidiens politiques, Le Constitutionnel, puis L’Assemblée Nationale, essentiellement pour des raisons d’ordre économique et suite aux encouragements de l’ancien directeur de l’Opéra de Paris, Louis-Désiré Véron, le compositeur est loin d’être un novice en matière de critique musicale. Adam fait notamment partie de la liste officielle des rédacteurs de la Revue et Gazette musicale de Paris et du Ménestrel dans les années 1830, puis de La France musicale dans les années 1840. Notre inventaire inédit des critiques musicales d’Adam, présenté en ligne1, nous a permis de relever plus de trois cent cinquante articles signés de son nom, publiés dans une quinzaine de journaux ou périodiques parisiens entre 1833 et 1856. Les sujets musicaux abordés par le compositeur sont très variés et sont bien loin de se limiter à la vingtaine d’articles, essentiellement d’ordre biographique, réunis dans les deux recueils posthumes intitulés Souvenirs d’un musicien et Derniers souvenirs d’un musicien, publiés respectivement en 1857 et 1859.

  • Debussy Et Le Prix De Rome
    Destouches et l’opéra Jean-Christophe Maillard Debussy et le prix de Rome Denis Herlin Lorsque Claude Debussy remporte en juin 1884 le prix de Rome, il a alors 22 ans et se prénomme en réalité Achille. Quelques années plus tard, en décembre 1889 précisément, il allait inverser ses prénoms et signer Claude- Achille puis uniquement Claude, à partir de septembre 1892. Avec l’ob - tention de cette récompense, il termine brillamment ses études au Conservatoire de Paris, à la satisfaction de sa famille et de ses profes - seurs. Réussite qui atténue quelque peu son échec au prix de piano en 1879 au sein de la classe d’Antoine Marmontel. Toutefois, rappelons qu’il avait obtenu en 1880 un premier prix d’accompagnement dans la classe d’Auguste Bazille. Il garde de cette formation une facilité à lire toutes sortes de musique, voire à interpréter dans un salon en 1893 plusieurs opéras de Wagner en chantant tous les rôles. Ce résultat en poche, il peut s’inscrire dans l’une des classes de composition du Conservatoire. Peut- être avait-il espéré entrer dans celle de Jules Massenet qui occupait ce poste depuis deux ans ? Mais il est finalement orienté vers celle d’Ernest Guiraud, récemment nommé. De cette rencontre avec l’ami intime de Georges Bizet naît une relation qui prendra son essor après le succès d’Achille au prix de Rome. Très vite, Guiraud décèle les talents de son jeune élève. « Intelligent, promet un compositeur » note-t-il à l’examen de janvier 1881. Un an plus tard, il précise : « Intelligent, mais a besoin d’être bridé.
