Composer of the Month: Jean-Philippe Rameau

During the month of March you''ll hear works by Rameau in the programme Composer of the Month on the Concertzender.

The French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau was born on 25th September 1683 as the seventh of eleven children. His father Jean Rameau was organist at several churches in Dijon and his mother Claudine de Martinécourt was of noble birth. Jean Philippe Rameau

He received his first music lessons from his father. Because of poor grades he had to leave the Jesuit college he was attending. At eighteen he left for Italy, but got no further than Milan.

In 1702 Rameau became organist of the cathedral van Avignon and in Clermont-Ferrand. In 1706 he moved to Paris, where he worked together with Louis Marchand . In Paris he published his Pièces de clavecin which gave a clear view of his opinions about keyboard music. Until 1709 he was organist at several churches in Paris and in that year was his father's successor in Dijon. Until 1722 he was organist in several cities such as Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand.
