about

Until today Fernand de La Tombelle has remained unknown, even to the music lovers of oddities. Yet he was a virtuoso organ player, a much valued teacher (cofounder of the Schola Cantorum with Vincent d'Indy) and a challenging and sophisticated composer. Relevant examples of this are his mélodies that cover a long period of his life as a creator, leading from the Saint-Saëns' romanticism to the Poulenc's post-war years. His musical language favours the vocal style of Massenet but the harmonic richness and the variety of atmospheres prove La Tombelle was not an epigone.


Aujourd'hui inconnu même des amateurs férus de raretés, Fernand de La Tombelle fut pourtant un organiste virtuose, un pédagogue apprécié (fondateur de la Schola Cantorum avec d'Indy) et un compositeur exigeant et raffiné. En témoignent ces mélodies qui couvrent une large période de sa vie de créateur, menant du romantisme de Saint-Saëns à l'Après-Guerre de Poulenc. Le traitement musical fait une large place à la vocalité héritée de Massenet, mais la richesse harmonique et la diversité des climats montrent que La Tombelle n'est pas qu'un épigone.
