Pierre Henry
Pierre Henry
* 1927 Paris (F); 1937-46 studied composition with Nadia Boulanger and Olivier Messiaen. He was the first composer to become associated with the experiments in «musique concrète» of Pierre Schaeffer, with whom he has collaborated on several works, notably the «Symphonie pour un homme seul». In 1960, Pierre Henry founded an independent studio, the studio Apsome, where he has realised many works, the best-known being «Le Voyage» (1962), «Variations pour une une porte et un soupir» (1963), and «Messe pour le temps présent».
