Biography
* 10. 03. 1892, † 27. 11. 1955.

Arthur Honegger was born 10 March, 1892 in Le Havre (France) and died on 27 November, 1955 in Paris. He was born the son of the tradesman Arthur Honegger (1851-1922) and his wife Julie Ulrich (1859-1922), both from the canton of Zurich. Honegger grew up in France after his parents emigrated to a Swiss colony in Le Havre where his father became a successful importer of coffee. The family returned, however, to their native Switzerland in 1913. Honegger was an official citizen of Switzerland and of the canton of Zurich where he became resident in 1919. He received violin lessons from professor Santreuil and was instructed in harmony by the organist Robert-Charles Martin early on. His first ambitious works remain chiefly unfinished, examples include the operas 'Philippa' and 'Sigismond', sonatas and the 'Oratorio du Calvaire'.

Honegger not only spent each summer in Zurich but also lived there between the months of September 1909 and June 1911. He attended Zurich conservatory during this time and received instruction from Willem de Boer (1885-1962) on the violin, Lothar Kempter (1844-1918) in music theory and Friedrich Hegar (1841-1927) in composition. The first work to be presented for publication through the Desforges Publishers in Le Havre was the 1910 composed 'Trois pièces' for piano. From 1911 onwards Honegger studied counterpoint under André Gédalge (1856-1926) and violin under Lucien Capet (1873-1928) at the conservatory in Paris. During his first years there the young Honegger commuted between Le Havre and Paris before finally settling in Paris in 1913. Between 1911 and 1917 he became acquainted with the members of the future 'Groupe des Six': Darius Milhaud (1892-1974), Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983), Georges Auric (1899-1983), Francis Poulenc (1899-1963), Erik Satie (1866-1925) and Louis Durey (1888-1979). He met Jean Cocteau (1889-1963), the literary head of the group, in 1917. Honegger returned to Paris in the Autumn of 1915 following an extended period in Switzerland during which he completed his obligatory military service. From then on he attended the composition class of Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937), studied conducting under Vincent d'Indy (1851-1931) and music history with Maurice Emmanuel (1862-1938). At that time he also met the pianist Andrée Vaurabourg (1894-1980) whom he befriended, implemented concerts with and later, in 1926, married. Honegger caused a scandal in December 1918 with the scenic piece 'Le Dit des jeux du monde' in cooperation with poet Paul Méral and performed at the Parisian 'Théatre du Vieux-Colombier'.

Honegger concretised his unification with the 'Groupe des Six' following his graduation from the conservatory in 1918. A joint concert in Paris on January 8, 1920, and an article published in the magazine 'Comoedia' by Henri Collet established the 'Groupe des Six'. In January 1920 Honegger composed the piano piece 'Sarabande' for the 'Album des Six'. A new aesthetic of simplicity was primarily conceived in Cocteau's 'Le Coq et l'Arlequin' which was, however, not accepted by all members of the group. There is no single common musical language which can be elicited from the 'Groupe des Six', it was rather more a group of friends with individual artistic notions. Indeed Honegger saw himself as the Beethoven - Brahms successor and hence looked upon the 'musique d'ameublement' of Erik Satie as having little meaning.

Honegger broke onto the international scene with his biblical drama 'Le Roi David' (1921), commissioned by the poet Réne Morax (1873-1963) it was world premiered on June 11, 1921, at the 'Théâtre du Jorat' in Mézières. Werner Reinhart (1884-1951), a musician from Winterthur, was a generous patron of the theatre and became a friend of Honegger at that time. Honegger dedicated the 'Sonatine' for clarinet and piano to the amateur clarinettist. In March 1921 he signed a contract with Sénart which remained effectual until 1946. An intensification of the cooperation between Honegger and Cocteau after 1922 led to the production of the stage music for the theatre piece 'Atigone' in 1922 and the opera 'Atigone' in 1927 which was world premiered in Brussels. In 1923 Honegger composed one of his most popular pieces, the symphonic movement 'Pacific 2.3.1' which expressed his fascination with technology. In 1924 he received a new commission for the Théâtre du Jorat from Réne Morax which enabled him to realise the biblical drama 'Judith'. Honegger fell in love with the singer Claire Croiza (1882-1946) who was to perform the leading role. This relationship led to the birth of Jean-Claude on 26 April, 1926. Shortly after Honegger married his partner of many years Andrée Vaurabourg who gave birth to their daughter, Pascale, on 11 August, 1932. A serious car accident in 1932, from which Vaurabourg would never completely recover, changed her life completely. She held a certain resentment when she became a teacher after the end of the second world war. Pierre Boulez (born 1925) was one of her students. Following 1925 Honegger worked together with the actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein (1885-1960) who commissioned several works from Honegger including the music to the tragedy 'Phaedre' by Gabriele d' Annunzio. Rubinstein personified the main character Jeanne at the world premiere of 'Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher' on 12 May, 1938, in Basel. Honegger approached the aesthetic orientation of the 'Groupe des Six' with the operetta 'Les Aventures du Roi Pausole', a work based on a text by Albert Willemetz (1887-1964). It was a great commercial success and even saw a performance in the German language in Zurich. After 1929 Honegger kept regular contact with Paul Sacher (1906-1999) who brought his drama, 'König David', to a performance in the German language in Basel on 4 July, 1929. He regularly used the secluded property of Sacher on Schönenberg near Pratteln in canton Basel-Land for composing and deepened the friendship with him during a mutual trip to Ireland in 1948. Honegger composed the 'Symphonie n° 2 pour cordes' (world premiered in 1942) and the 'Symphonie n° 4 Deliciae basilienses' for the tenth, respectively twentieth, anniversary of the Basel Chamber Orchestra. Last but not least Honegger composed the ecclesiastical piece 'La Danse des morts' for Sacher. Honegger worked together with the poet Paul Claudel (1868-1955) after 1934 and produced thereby the pieces 'La Danse des morts' (world premiered in 1940), 'Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher' and the music for radio 'Tête d'Or'. On 7 March, 1936, Honegger moved into his studio at 71 Boulevard de Clichy in the centre of Paris where he lived and worked until his death. He remained in occupied Paris with Andrée Vaurabourg during the Second World War, refusing the possibility as a Swiss citizen of returning to his relatively secure homeland. Concerts abroad, which, as a Swiss, were still possible, led him with few exceptions to neutral or occupied countries.

The prolific composition of music for film (until 1943 he produced 37 scores) continued only sporadically after the end of the war, he concluded this genre with the music for a film about Paul Claudel in 1951. Honegger entered into in an intimate relationship with Madame Suzanne Charlotte Agassiz which lasted from 1942 until 1954. The liaison is confirmed by
numerous unpublished letters sent by the composer. In 1945 he composed the
'Symphonie n° 3 Liturgique'.From November of 1946 onwards he worked as a tutor at the 'Ecole Normale de Musique' in Paris. Honegger suffered a serious heart attack during a course for composition held at the Berkshire Music Center in Tanglewood (USA) in the summer of 1947. Recuperation stays in Bagnoles-de-l'Orne (1948, 1951), Val-Mont (1952) and in the Bircher-Benner Clinic (1952) were made necessary due to the deteriorating condition of his health. In 1948 Honegger was conferred the doctorate honoris causa by the University of Zurich. Following the end of the 1940's Honegger became increasingly engaged as a musical politician, he was elected president of CISAC (Confédération Internationale des Sociétes d' Auteurs et Compositeurs) on 16 October, 1948, this position led him to participate at a UNESCO congress. On 3 April, 1952, Arthur Honegger became a foreign member of the 'Académie des beaux-arts' (Institut de France). Despite illness Honegger was still able to complete important works associated with his late period such as 'Monopartita', 'Suite archaique', 'Une cantate de Noel' and 'Symphonie n° 5'. Arthur Honegger died in his studio on the Boulevard de Clichy on 27 November, 1955.
