Julien PORRET
![]() C is an extraordinary adventure that happened to a French musician, studying classical music that does not predispose one to become the propagators of Jazz in France. Julien Porret starts early musical education, musical theory and cornet (only available instrument in the family). Guided by his brother Armand, and his father, who also plays the instrument in harmony: "The Mermaid of Paris" (75014). Encouraged by the head and musicians, he prepares the Conservatory, and won first prize cornet in 1914 the Music Conservatory of Paris. He composed his first piece: "The Humorous Polka" played to this day! This polka is decrypted by Joan Franklin, pianist, teacher and daughter of his cornet Merry Frankin. Surprised that this piece is perfectly orchestrated, she advises him to learn piano, and studying harmony with an excellent teacher: M. Heurteur. By 1912, he played in the orchestra of Luna Park, Porte Maillot, then the Magic City Skating Street Cognacq Jay and numerous balls barriers to Luna Park. Already, the programs include Cakes Walks and Rags of Time, Introduction to American syncopated music. At 16, he is, of course, fascinated by this new form of music and in 1913 he made a cake walk: "The Lucky Tramp" he carefully avoids showing at the conservatory, because these rhythms are hardly new appreciated in the classroom. In 1914 he obtained a first prize of a horn, but the outbreak of war. Too young to be mobilized, he played in the orchestras of silent cinema. However, the upbeat music is increasingly requested by the public and the conductors who want to modernize their repertoire; Julien consists of new songs like: "Old Peter", "Jolly Boy", "Brooklyn" and "Botany Bay ". we do not yet speak of "Jazz" since the word appears only around 1915 in Chicago. What originally derived from Jezebel? Jasbo of Brown? Chas Washington? Not being a chauvinist, we prefer the French word "Jaser" which is widely used in New Orleans, why not? It was then that the French Government who require a "Public Relation" in the United States, Gabriel Pares burden to establish a harmony "The French Army Band" and organize a concert tour in New York, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. Julien was hired as solo cornet. This tour is not innocent, it just support a request for assistance more urgent, because France is slowing in this terrible war and the military and industrial support of the United States becomes essential. In 1915 the orchestra moved to New York and immediately follow each concert. Program very "conventional" open Benvuenuto Cellini, Manon, Fantasy, Clarinet Concerto, Prelude and Entr'acte from Carmen C is a complete success. The musicians are French ovation from a delirious way "to American" and the evening after the service, they are taken in neighborhoods "hot" to listen to the first Jazz Band. Julian is shocked to hear these weird rhythms, played by musicians who do not read a note of music, but whose effectiveness is remarkable. He sensed immediately the future of this music: of course it is an American music, but the French can write JAZZ "the French", nothing is opposed. The concerts come and go, listening Julien Buddy Bolden, King Oliver and Louis Mitchell. He is especially impressed by the Rag Time pianists whose virtuosity the panic. Among them, the amazing Tom Waltham. He in turn wrote "Powell Street" name of the main artery of San Francisco. Back in Paris, Julien flipping through his notes taken at U. S. A. How to play this music for orchestras French? Let us not forget that musicians are traditional training, nothing to do with the "Jazz Band" Americans. In addition, this new music is called music of monkeys!So we must write songs, the orchestration, so that orchestras are valid. In 1916, the formation of an orchestra was generally as follows: piano (1-2) violin (s) viola, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, horn, trumpet, trombone, drums. Again, nothing to do with the Americans Bands. Julien is drafted into the dreadful 16 class that will leave many dead on the forehead; But, trumpet player, he is kept out of the carnage, waking occasionally peers. This does not prevent the few pieces of writing: "Pick me up," "Luck by Luck," "Baby Pink". Transferred to Bourges in 1917, he met the American fighters to rest and every night he plays music at the piano playing all the tunes that he reported his trip to the U. S. A, c is madness. Helping the French wine, at dawn, the "military police" the warriors back pell-mell into the barracks. In 1944 the Liberation. The music gently rebuke, he joined with Tabarin Geoges Tzipine. In the morning he works with the Editions Shades Lèo Pol, father of the famous Polnareff. In the afternoon he was musical director "Au Chant du Monde", a publisher specializing in Soviet music. He published: The symphonies of Prokofiev and Shostakovich, he realizes the orchestrations of Russian songs, which will write the lyrics Francis Blanche: my Plaine Plaine, The Blue Shawl, Kalinka, a song with Rika Zaraï become famous: The Casatchoc. He published his famous sight-reading started during the war, and children's songs and skits songs. At that time, his friend Eugene Foveau, professor of trumpet at the Paris Conservatory, asked him to compose concertinos relatively easy for young students. The idea attracted him but its activities do not allow it to respond immediately to this request: "As it is difficult to write music easy," he would often say!A miracle occurs: a song "Temptation" published in Germany in Rules. Discovered by an American soldier, and reduced to U. S. A, this piece has become a famous code of issuance. The sum of copyright accumulated since 1944 is important. Julien does not hesitate and returns in the Basque country, to Ascarat as he appreciated the calm and friendliness of the people. Before leaving, he sold for waste paper, each edition, there are 28 Tons! In a quiet, he wrote virtually all his concertinos, and contest solos for wind instruments, but he never makes the mistake of most editing and entrusts himself to the publisher Robert Martin, all of his pedagogical works, which is considerable. The latter, an excellent musician, will all the power its sales department to disseminate these works that are played by students around the world. Julien Porret rewrite, correct and reclassify the famous Arban method for studying the trumpet. He was a pupil of Merry Little Frankin and Alexande, themselves students of the renowned cornetist. It finally happen, it trumpet method for beginners. Julien Porret died January 11, 1979 in Bordeaux, Gironde, he had 83 years. . Google machine translation: Julien PORRET's original bio |
