BOURGUIGNON, Francis de
Francis de BOURGUIGNON (Brussels, 29th May 1890 - Brussels, 11th April 1961)
Francis de Bourguignon studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with Huberti, Paulin Marchand, Dubois and Tinel. He also studied piano with Arthur de Greef. After having won a first prize he was appointed to assist de Greef.
From 1915 until 1920 he was the assisting partner of Nellie Melba. Together they made concert tours from one continent to another. He continued to travel alone until 1925, then having completed six world-tours he settled in Brussels. There, he received advice in composition from Paul Gilson and he became a member of the “Synthétistes”, group guided by Paul Gilson, consisting of some of his pupils who were considered as the best young progressive Belgian composers of the twenties.
He was professor of harmony and counterpoint at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Brussels. He worked also as a music critic.
His first compositions were descriptive and impressionistic later he turned to the more classic forms.
