Philippe Hersant
At the Conservatoire de Paris, Philippe Hersant pursued a double-major in composition in André Jolivet’s studio and literature, winning the writing prize. From 1970 to 1972, he was a fellow at the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid and later at the Villa Medici in Rome from 1978 until 1980. A producer at the radio station France Musique from 1973 to 2005, he possesses a knowledge of music that stretches across many genres.
Hersant has been composer-in-residence at the Orchestre National de Lyon (1998-2000), Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire (2007-2009), Orchestre de Bretagne (2008-2010), Festival des Forêts (2015-2018), Besançon International Music Festival (2016-2018), Cité de la Voix in Vézelay (2016-2018), and Aspects des Musiques d’aujourd’hui Festival in Caen (2017).
A lover of literature, Hersant has put many texts to music. These have included works by Jules Verne in Le château des Carpathes (The Carpathian Castle — an opera twice nominated at the Victoires de la Musique awards); Anton Chekhov in Le Moine noir (The Black Monk), with a libretto by his brother, historian Henri Hersant; Jean Echenoz in Éclairs (Lightning); Friedrich Hölderlin in Lebenslauf (Résumé); and Arthur Rimbaud in Allégories and Illuminations.

The solo pieces by Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe presented here were written around 1690 and are part of a manuscript included in the archives of the municipal library in Tournus, Burgundy. Hence its name: the ‘Tournus Manuscript’. The first modern edition of the manuscript was published in 2013 by Edition Güntersberg, prepared by Herausgegeben von Günter and Leonore von Zadow. Until then, only a facsimile edition by Minkoff had been published, one which is long since out of print. •
Ronald Martin Alonso came across the pieces quite by accident while searching through the music shops that populate the Rue de Rome in Paris. He was straight away fascinated by the richness and wildness of the writing which struck me as more akin to improvisations rich with fantasy. The freedom of the writing leaves ample liberty to the performer to construct the rhetoric and development of each phrase, to decide on the appropriate rhythmic proportions for each dance, to choose the tempo at which the notes should be played and to consider which moments to accentuate and stress.
Today, a few composers take inspiration from Sainte-Colombe’s heritage to give new life to the viola da gamba. Biography Ronald Histrion Alonso, Celebration Vedado
