A Swiss composer who was active in France. Born in Le Havre in northern France to a family of Swiss-German descent. He was exposed to JS Bach's cantatas as a boy and developed a deep respect for Bach. After studying at the Zurich Conservatory, he studied composition under Bidor and orchestration under D'Indy at the Paris Conservatory. At the Paris Conservatory, he developed a close friendship with Milhaud. After World War I, he began to work in the French music world as the leader of a group of composers that critics later named the "Sextérieur", releasing works such as the oratorio "King David" (1921, revised in 1923), the symphonic poem "Summer Pastoral" (1920-1921), and the orchestral work "Pacific 231" (1923). He quickly rose to fame. After the opera Antigone (1924-1927) with a libretto by Cocteau, his style gradually became more Germanic, and he crystallized into his own musical world while showing a high degree of fusion with the clear aesthetics he learned from French music. His later representative works include the oratorio Joan of Arc at the Stake (1934-1935) with a libretto by Claudel, Symphony No. 3, Liturgy (1945-1946), dedicated to Munch, one of the greatest understanders of Honegger's music, and Symphony No. 5, 3 Les (1951), commissioned by Koussevitzky. →Ondes Martenot/Xenakis → Related topics Auric | Dance of Death Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
フランスで活躍したスイスの作曲家。フランス北部のル・アーブルでドイツ系スイス人の家系に生まれる。少年時代にJ.S.バッハのカンタータに接し,以後バッハへの敬愛を深める。チューリヒ音楽院で学んだのちパリ音楽院でビドールに作曲を,ダンディに管弦楽法を師事。パリ音楽院ではミヨーと親交を深めた。第1次世界大戦後,のち批評家により〈六人組〉と命名された作曲家仲間のリーダー格としてフランス音楽界で活動をはじめ,オラトリオ《ダビデ王》(1921年,改訂1923年),交響詩《夏の牧歌》(1920年−1921年),管弦楽曲《パシフィック231》(1923年)などを発表。一躍名声を高めた。コクトーの台本によるオペラ《アンチゴーヌ》(1924年―1927年)などを経て,作風は次第にゲルマン的な特質を強め,フランス音楽に学んだ明晰(めいせき)な美学との高度な融合をみせつつ独自の音楽世界に結晶した。その後の代表作として,クローデルの台本によるオラトリオ《火刑台上のジャンヌ・ダルク》(1934年−1935年),オネゲルの音楽の最良の理解者の一人ミュンシュに献呈された《交響曲第3番・典礼》(1945年−1946年),クーセビツキーの委嘱による《同第5番・3つのレ》(1951年)などが知られる。→オンド・マルトノ/クセナキス →関連項目オーリック|死の舞踏 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
