Serge LANCEN
Lancen Serge was born in Paris November 5, 1922 in a family where there was a doctor from father to son. His father heads the rheumatology department of the Hopital Saint-Antoine. From an early age Serge is attracted to music listening to his mother play classical pieces (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin etc.. ) On piano. All these classical composers Lancen influence later. His mother is not only a good pianist, but also a talented painter and his father had played violin in a symphony orchestra of amateurs. The young Serge never tired of listening to symphony which are on the radio and started very early to study piano. Before reaching their fifth birthday, he composed a lullaby, which will be published later, his mother notes carefully because the small Serge nor read nor write music. When he was eight, he studied music theory and piano with a teacher. At fifteen, he has already written enough music for piano for a recital whole. This concert takes place at the Rudolf Steiner Hall in London in 1937. Later, he studied piano with Marguerite Long and Lazare Lévy and composition with Noël Gallon and Tony Aubin. In 1950 he won a Prix de Rome, the most prestigious award for a young composer. Serge Lancen covers all genres of writing and chamber music, piano works, ballets, chamber opera commissioned by the Radio and symphonic music. His style is completely original nevertheless clearly influenced by the classics that he has heard so much during his youth. Among his first symphonic compositions include the Concertino for Piano (1949), Concerto for Piano (1951) and Symphony Light (1955). Serge Lancenand the orchestra of harmony. There is no evidence that it will become one of the great French composers of the 20th century in the field of harmony orchestras. Indeed, he grew up in a musical completely oriented piano and strings. The soloists that when he heard his parents taking him every Sunday at the concert were still pianists or violinists. For him, the wind had no function that surrounded the sound of the strings and so it was destined for a career as a composer purely symphonic. But fate decided otherwise. The one of his former comrades of the conservatory, a clarinetist named Desire Dondeyne, becomes head of the Music of Peacekeepers of the Prefecture de Police in Paris in 1954. As Dondeyne wants to enrich the original repertoire contemporary, he composed a large number of works but also encourages all his former classmates to write for orchestra harmony. Attending a few concerts in Paris this training, Serge Lancen is impressed by the beautiful sound of the orchestra with its mass of harmony clarinets, saxophones and euphoniums. He later admitted, that c is essentially the union of sound massive wind band who attracted and fascinated the rest of his life. For Lancen symphonist, the high register of the orchestra harmony always lack of volume and power, but the inventions of Adolphe Sax add color and exceptional natural resources and records to serious. Thus, Serge wrote in a March 1960 concert which is orchestrated by Dondeyne as it is facing the difficulties caused by the many transposing instruments in the orchestra of harmony. A trip to the United States of America inspires Lancen who writes his Manhattan Symphony (1961-1962) for the orchestra of harmony and orchestration at the still says Désiré Dondeyne. It does the same for his Symphony Christmas (1964) and its sequel Festival in Kerkrade (1966) also orchestral pieces of harmony. Lancen Serge discovers the World Competition for Wind Orchestras in which is held every four years since 1950 in Kerkrade, a small border town south of the Netherlands. Serge became a distinguished guest when his Manhattan Symphony is imposed in the first division in 1966. These close ties with the assistance WMC Kerkrade will never be broken. In 1970, Banda Primitiva of Fame Lliria sang the Mini Symphony in concert, while the harmony mines DSM plays the Manhattan Symphony. In 1974, he performed his Concerto Parade with the Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy, the service forming the subject of a recording discography. Cape Kennedy is all the rage as set piece in the first division in 1978. In 1981, his Rhapsody Festival, control of the contest organizers, is imposed in the second division. Four years later, still in Kerkrade, Serge plays his Concerto for Orchestra of Paris with the harmony of the Maastricht Conservatory, directed by Jan Van Ossenbruggen, this concert was recorded by Dutch television. Serge Lancen was also very often on the program of gala concerts given by the most prestigious orchestras of professional harmony in Kerkrade. After the Festival in Kerkrade in 1967, Serge Lancen considers that it has acquired the maturity to orchestrate himself of orchestral harmony. The Mini Symphony (1967) can be considered his first work for total harmony. Then, still fascinated by the single sonic palette, Lancen continues to write regularly for harmony orchestra, encouraged by his Dutch publisher Pieter Jan Molenaar, who had been hit by the Manhattan Symphony when it was created by the Music Guards Peace April 29, 1962 in Argentan. Obsession (1969), commissioned by the French Radio for a European competition is winning. Then he yal masterpiece Cape Kennedy (1969-1970) a symphonic poem whose reputation exceeds the boundaries quickly. Among the many orchestral compositions of harmony (sixty in total) still include tables symphony Le Mont Saint-Michel (1976), the symphonic poem commissioned by the French State, The Song of the Tree (1979-1980) and Masquerade (1985) for brass quintet and orchestra harmony, created July 20, 1987 in Boston at the World Conference WASBE. Serge Lancen was present at the creation of this international organization (World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles) in Manchester in July 1981 and will support long. From 1985 to 1991 it is part of the global steering committee and represents France. Except, already cited Masquerade and created in Boston in 1987, several works are created or interpreted Lancen the various conferences of WASBE. Festival in Kerkrade interpreted by the Harmonie Municipale du Havre, under the direction of Claude Decugis, Skien, Norway July 14, 1983; the Symphony of the Water Music is created by the National Police, under the direction of Peter Bigot, in Kortrijk (Belgium), July 17, 1985, The Overture to an Autumn morning is played by the Senior Orchestra of the Netherlands, edited by Henk van Lijnschooten in Kerkrade in the Netherlands on July 20 1989, and the Manhattan Symphony performed by the Band of the Air de Paris under the direction of Francis Xavier Bailleul July 21, 1989 still at the conference in Kerkrade, the Sonata Concertante for Clarinet and Orchestra of harmony is played by Linking with the Concert Band on clarinet MarcVertessen July 14, 1993 in Valencia, Spain and the Oboe Concerto by the same set (renamed Concert Band voor Vlaanderen) July 8, 1997 in Schladming, Austria. Serge Lancen composed several concertos with orchestra accompaniment of harmony. First of all, there are the two piano concertos. Parade Concerto (1971) created April 6, 1972 by Pierre Nimax the piano and the Municipal Harmony of Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg), edited by George Wagner. Serge Lancen often interprets this concerto, notably in 1973 with the United States Air Force Band, led by Jan Molenaar in Washington, he was the registered in 1971 with the Koninklijke Militaire Kapel of the Netherlands under the direction of Anne Posthumus. Concerto de Paris was created by the composer and the Koninklijke Militaire Kapel, edited by Jan van Ossenbruggen November 25, 1983 in Zaandam, the fiftieth anniversary of the firm Molenaar. Then there are concertos for various solo instruments and orchestra harmony. Dedication (1974) for solo alto saxophone and orchestra Harmony is created by Jaques Desloges and the Band of the National Police Directorate Mériot Michel, at the 4th World Saxophone Congress in Bordeaux in 1974. Apart concertos already mentioned, there are also concertos for trombone (1988), for horn (1991) and harp (1990). All these works for solo instruments and orchestra of harmony were recorded by the Orchestra of the Conservatory Harmony of Brabant (Netherlands) directed by Jan Cober: Masterpieces for Band 3 (Molenaar MBCD 31. 1016. 72) and Masterpieces for Band 11 (Molenaar MBCD 31. 1040. 72). It is interesting that the Oboe Concerto (1991) is actually a new version of Concerto for Harmonica and Orchestra (1954), composed at the request of virtuoso Larry Adler who created, edited by Rudolf Schwarz at Town Hall in Birmingham, England in 1954. The composer has always shown a preference for his religious works. The first of its kind is the World Poem (1975) based on texts from the Bible (including Psalm 8, 23, 100 and 150), various prayer books in their original language (Latin, French, Slavonic, Hebrew ) and intimate prayers. The final is a hymn written by Roger Brotherhood Thirault. This religious work, created in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Laon 12 October 1975, is written for symphony orchestra and / or orchestra Harmony, soloists and choirs. The second is the religious composition Missa Solemnis (1985) 32 50 for soloists, chorus and orchestra of harmony, is dedicated to Pope John Paul II and created by the Royal Harmony of Thorn, Executive Jan Cober in the Notre Lady Maastricht May 27, 1989. Then the Te Deum (1991) for tenor, baritone, chorus and orchestra of male harmony chamber (14 winds), dedicated to the Cardinal of Paris, Monseigneur Lustiger. Finally there is the Creed (1994) for mixed choir and orchestra of harmony, ordered to be included in the Missa Solemnis, which was created in the French Church in Bolzano (Italy) 19 March 1995 by the choirs and Musikkapelle Zwölfmalgreien of Bolzano, direction Markus Silbernagl. Among recent orchestral compositions of harmony should be mentioned Serge Lancen Zwiefache Symphony (1994), Hymn to the Musicians (1995), Feast Day (1995), Jubilee (1996) and the cantata for soloists, mixed choir, chorus Children and orchestra harmony Harmonic Spaces (1995), commissioned by the city of Blois in commemoration of the Diocese. This work is created in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Trinity of Blois (1997) directed by Vincent Ries. C is then that the health of Serge Lancen becomes increasingly fragile. It consists more and lives peacefully surrounded by loving care of his wife Raphaelle. He's passed away peacefully Sunday, July 10, 2005 and is now based in Montparnasse cemetery in Paris, the city that he loved so. All who were fortunate enough to rub Serge Lancen were affected by its distinction, its delicacy, its simplicity, honesty and balanced outlook. D also easily found all these characteristics in his compositions. It's not without reason that this gentleman of the French music of harmony was received everywhere with open arms, because Serge and his wife moved to Raphaëlle countless times to attend rehearsals, concerts, recordings , contests and creations in many countries. Everywhere they were welcomed because everyone liked the friendliness and simplicity of this great master who had great respect for musicians and amateurs who paid him well. .
