Roussel

Japanese: ルーセル
Roussel
French composer. After graduating from the Naval Academy and entering military service, he began formal music studies at the age of 25. In 1898, at the age of 29, he entered the Schola Cantorum in Paris. He studied under d'Indy and served as a professor at the school from 1902 to 1914, lecturing on counterpoint to Satie and Barès, who were three years his senior. He later taught Martinu as well. After early works heavily influenced by d'Indy and his teacher C. Franck, he showed impressionist brushwork in ballet music such as The Feast of the Spiders (1912), but after a trip to India and Southeast Asia in 1909, he gradually changed his style. He established a dynamic style based on polyphonic writing and his own harmonic idiom. His later works include the opera-ballet Madhumavati (1918), Suite in F for orchestra (1926), choral work Psalm No. 80 (1928), Symphony No. 3, commissioned by Koussevitzky, ballet music Bacchus and Ariadne (both 1930), String Quartet (1932), Symphony No. 4 (1934), String Trio (1937), and many songs.

Roussel

French author. Born into a wealthy family in Paris. He enrolled in the piano department at the Paris Conservatoire, but abandoned music to compose poetry. His works Impressions of Africa (1910) and Locus Solus (1914) were not well received, so he rewrote them into stage plays, which also failed to receive favorable reviews. He was virtually unknown during his lifetime, and all of his works were published and performed at his own expense. Roussel's works, constructed through the imagination, relentlessly pursued the possibilities inherent in language, and in How I Wrote Some of My Books (1935) he revealed his own creative method. He had a major influence on Dadaists, Surrealists, and Nouveau Roman writers.

フランスの作曲家。海軍兵学校を経て軍務に就いたのち,25歳で正式に音楽を学ぶ。1898年,29歳でパリのスコラ・カントルムに入学。ダンディに師事し,1902年−1914年には同校教授を務め,3歳年長のサティやバレーズらに対位法を講じた。のちにはマルティヌーも教えている。ダンディやその師C.フランクの感化の強い初期作品を経て,バレエ音楽《蜘蛛(くも)の饗宴》(1912年)などで印象派風の筆致をみせたのち,1909年のインド,東南アジア各地への旅行を契機に作風を徐々に転換。多声書法と独自の和声語法を核に,躍動感みなぎる作風を確立した。以後の作品に,インド旋法を用いたオペラ・バレエ《マドマーバティ》(1918年),管弦楽のための《ヘ調の組曲》(1926年),合唱曲《詩篇第80番》(1928年),クーセビツキーの委嘱による《交響曲第3番》,バレエ音楽《バッコスとアリアドネ》(ともに1930年),《弦楽四重奏曲》(1932年),《交響曲第4番》(1934年),《弦楽三重奏曲》(1937年),多くの歌曲などがある。→フルニエ

ルーセル

フランスの作家。パリの裕福な家庭に生まれる。コンセルバトアールのピアノ科に入学するが,詩をつくるために音楽を捨てる。《アフリカの印象》(1910年),《ロクス・ソルス》(1914年)はともに評価されなかったため舞台劇に書きかえられたものの不評に終わる。生前にはほとんど無名であり,作品の出版,上演はすべて自費によるものであった。想像力によって構築されたルーセルの作品は,言語に内在する可能性を執拗に追求し,《いかにして私は自分の本のいくつかを書いたか》(1935年)ではその創作方法を自ら明らかにした。ダダイスト,シュルレアリストまたヌーボー・ロマンの作家たちに多大な影響を与えた。
