The Belgian born Joseph Jongen is one of the most important composers in his native country. While first studying at the Conservatoire of his hometown Liège, he developed his gift for organ improvisations early in life. After Jongen had received the Prix de Rome for his cantata Comaia in 1897, a scholarship enabled him to travel to most major musical centres in Europe: In Berlin (1898), he studied the works of Johannes Brahms and Richard Strauss. In Munich, he was introduced to the operas of Richard Wagner. Further stop overs were Vienna and Rome. In Paris (1899), he became friends with Vincent d’Indy and Gabriel Fauré. In 1902, Joseph Jongen was appointed Professor of Harmony at the Liège Conservatory. |
