Georges Migot is a French composer, painter and engraver, born February 27, 1891 in Paris and died January 5, 1976 in Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine). George Elbert Migot was born in the 11th arrondissement of Paris on February 27, 1891, from a Protestant family. His father is a doctor, his mother gave him his first piano lessons when he was seven years old. Very quickly, he began to compose and, at fifteen, he produced his first published work: Noël a cappella for four voices.
In 1909, he entered the Paris Conservatory and studied with Jules Bonval (harmony), André Gedalge (fugue), Charles-Marie Widor (composition), Alexandre Guilmant and Louis Vierne (organ), Vincent d'Indy (orchestration), Maurice Emmanuel (music history). He is passionate about lutenists and Renaissance masters: François Couperin and Jean-Philippe Rameau are important sources of inspiration for him.
He was then mobilized during the First World War, and was seriously injured in Longuyon (Meurthe et Moselle) in 1914. He had to use crutches during his convalescence, for more than a year.
He received several prizes, notably the Lili Boulanger prize (1917), the Lépaulle prize (1919), the Halphen prize (1920) and the Blumenthal prize (1921). However, he failed twice at the Prix de Rome, in 1919 and 1922, and decided not to run again. He also studied painting and his talent as a painter was highlighted during several exhibitions in Parisian galleries, in 1917, 1919 and 1923. He is also known as the composer of the librettos for many of his vocal works.
From 1937, Georges Migot taught at the Schola Cantorum in Paris and produced musical broadcasts for Radio-Cité (1937-1939). In 1949, he became curator of the instrumental museum of the Paris Conservatory, a position he held until 1961. SACEM awarded him the Grand Prix de la musique française in 1958.
Georges Migot died on January 5, 1976 in Levallois-Perret, in Hauts-de-Seine1.
The composer
It is not easy to estimate the abundant work of Georges Migot, however, he is credited with having chosen difficult paths and having rejected banal solutions. Thus, Florent Schmitt writes about his work Agrestides: “In all this, there is nothing base, banal, or even easy. On the contrary, we feel pure, noble, generous intentions, an intense poetic feeling. But an unrepentant autodidact, it seems that he approached his art where he should have ended it. » — Musical soap opera from Le Temps, May 23, 1931. Some criticize him for having come to music through painting. A musician, he knew how to translate the subtle play of colors using sounds.
