Guy Sacre


Guy Sacre is a French composer, pianist and musical critic.

Biography

He is best known for writing La Musique de piano, a critical census of a large part of the piano repertoire, dealing with some 4,000 works by 272 composers.
In his compositions, Guy Sacre tries to reconnect with the French musical tradition: he is the author of Vingt-Quatre préludes and Mélodies after poems by Paul Verlaine, Jean Cocteau and Guillaume Apollinaire.
With Billy Eidi he created the association "Contrechants" intended to rediscover an unknown repertoire.
Guy Sacre is also author of radio broadcasts and conferences centered on themes of musical and literary aesthetics, such as "la musique et les éléments", "Vigny et le silence", "Apollinaire poète du souvenir", and the "masques et bergamasques" which gather Fauré and Debussy around Verlaine and Watteau.
