Noël Lancien

Noël Lancien (24 December 1934 – 23 July 1999) was a French composer, conductor and music educator,[1] first Grand Prix de Rome in 1958.

Life

Born in Paris, spotted very early for his musical gifts, Lancien entered the Maîtrise de la Radio when it was created in 1945 and began composing. He joined the Conservatoire de Paris in rue de Madrid in 1949, and he obtained the First Prix de Rome in 1958 for his cantata Une mort de Don Quichotte. He studied musical analysis with Olivier Messiaen and musical composition with Tony Aubin and Darius Milhaud, and won a second conducting prize in 1959.

He was director of the Conservatoire de Toulouse from 1964 to 1970 and of the Conservatoire de Nancy from 1970 to 1997, and conductor of the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy during the same period. He directs half of the programs, and brings to Nancy soloists such as Maurice André, Pierre Barbizet, Yuri Boukoff, Roger Bourdin, Jacqueline Brumaire, Annie Challan, Xavier Darasse, Christian Ferras, Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Alexandre Lagoya, Frédéric Lodéon, Mady Mesplé, Nathan Milstein, Daniel Wayenberg and Pierre Sancan.[1]
