Chronicle of Dutch Music

tue 2 apr 2024 21:00 hour

In this episode of Chronicle of Dutch Music, we delve into the work of father and son Landré. Both were composers, music journalists, and educators. Guillaume Landré, the son, was also a lecturer at the Faculty of Law in Utrecht.

Father Guillaume Landré (1874-1948) [pictured above] was trained by Bernard Zweers and composed in a revolutionary French concise style, similar to that of Diepenbrock, for example. We will present his piano concerto from 1935.

His son Guillaume Landré (1905-1968) [pictured below], drew inspiration from the polyphony of Flemish Renaissance composers. We will showcase his Fourth Symphony and Symphonic Permutations. Two movements from his Fourth String Quartet exemplify his later use of the twelve-tone technique.
