André Jolivet

André Jolivet was a French composer.

André's composition teacher was the French composer Marie-Paule Le Flem. Jolivet became interested in atonal music and then became a student of composer Edgar Varèse, who taught him musical acoustics, atonal music, and orchestration.

In 1936 Jolivet co-founded the group La jeune France, and in 1945 he was appointed music director of the Comédie Française. He developed an expressive melodic style, epitomized in the virtuosic Concertino for trumpet, strings and piano (1948) and the 1949 Flute Concerto.

André Jolivet is known for his complex, expressive experiments with rhythm and new sounds. He adapted music from Egypt, the Middle East, Africa and Asia into his distinctly French style.
