Born in 1948 in
Rome, Philippe Hersant
studied music at the
Paris Conservatory,
notably in the
composition class of
Andre Jolivet, before
residing at the Casa
Velasquez from 1970 to
1972 and then at the
Villa Medici from 1978 to
1980. Since 1973 he has
been a producer for radio
broadcasts with France
Musiques. Refusing to
play tricks with history,
Philippe Hersant has
forged a language that
extends the course of
Western music as a whole,
and, without ever seeking
to establish a school, he
was one of the first of
his generation to place
himself, once more, in
the domain of tonality
and modality. He does
not, for all that, banish
all neo-classical
tendencies. On the
contrary, he champions
the mannerism and the
deep subjectivity of his
memory as sources and
guides to creation.
