Brahms, Johannes

DOB: May 7 th , 1833 (Hamburg, German)

DOD: April 3 rd , 1897 (Vienna, Austria)

Johannes Brahms, German composer and pianist, was one of the

leading musicians of the Romantic period. He spent much of his

professional life in Vienna, Austria, where he was a leader of the

musical scene. In his lifetime, Brahms’ popularity and influence were

considerable; following a comment by the nineteenth century

conductor Hans von B ü low, he is sometimes grouped with Johann

Sebastian Bach and Ludwig von Beethoven as one of the Three Bs. 1

Louis-Philippe Laurendeau

DOB: 1861 (St. Hyacinthe, Canada)

DOD: February 13 th , 1916 (Montreal, Canada)

Laurendeau, Louis-Philippe. Composer, writer, b St-Hyacinthe, Que,

1861, d Montreal 13 Feb 1916. He was active for many years in

Montreal and was bandmaster at the École militaire of Saint-Jean, but

later he devoted himself entirely to composition and arranging. Though

a resident of Longueuil (near Montreal), he occupied an editorial

position with Carl Fischer, the New York publishers.

Some 200 of Laurendeau's compositions and arrangements, mostly

for band and published by Fischer and Cundy-Bettoney, are listed in F. Pazdírek's Universal-

Handbuch (Vienna 1904-10). His intermezzo Twilight Whispers, Opus 202 , won first prize in the

1895 Metronome competition. Works of specific Canadian interest include Shores of the St

Lawrence , a medley for band, and Land of the Maple, Opus 235 , a march.

Laurendeau taught as well, and Fischer published several of his volumes of band instruction and

repertoire, including The New Era Band Book (Grades 2, 3) and The Practical Band Arranger . He

used the pseudonym Paul Laurent, but the National Library of Canada has record of only one

publication on which it appears. A Montreal street was named after Laurendeau in 1931. 2

Hungarian Dance No 6 was published in 1905 by Carl Fischer and arranged by L.P.

Laurendeau.

The Hungarian Dances by Brahms are a set of 21 lively dance tunes based mostly on Hungarian

themes.
