INDY, VINCENT D' BIOGRAPHY(1851 - 1931)
Vincent d'Indy was born in Paris in 1851 and became a pupil and
leading disciple of César Franck, whose music he did much
to propagate. He distinguished himself as a teacher and writer
on musical subjects and was an important figure in the musical
life of Paris in his time, although by the time of his death a
new era in music was well under way.
Orchestral Music
Vincent d'Indy wrote music in all principal genres. His Symphonie sur un chant montagnard français (Symphony on a French mountain air) for piano and orchestra, completed in 1886, is overtly patriotic, based on a French folk-song.
