Éveline Plicque-Andréani, née Boudon (January 25, 1929, Paris 13me - October 16, 2018 Paris), was a French composer, musicologist and pedagogue, winner of the Prix de Rome for musical composition in 1950.

Biography

Éveline Plicque-Andréani was the daughter of Irène Plicque, a singing teacher, born on May 9, 1901, who married (on August 18, 1922) Guy Boudon, a schoolteacher, born on May 5, 1892. She was the natural daughter of Marcel Samuel-Rousseau.

In December 1939, she was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire in music theory classes. Still at the Conservatoire, she joined Marcel Samuel-Rouseau's harmony class from 1945 to 1950, then Noël Gallon's fugue class from 1946 to 1949. Éveline Plicque-Andréani was also a student of Nadia Boulanger in the piano accompaniment class. Her awards include: a first medal in solfège in 1942, a second prize in harmony in 1947 and a first prize in fugue in 1949.

She won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1950 with her cantata Bettina, a lyrical scene in one act on a text by Jacques Carol after Alfred de Musset. This award caused a scandal, arising from the small number of composers on the jury, and also because, according to one report, the winner's natural father was on the jury. This is also a unique case in the history of the Prix de Rome where awards were distributed to three successive generations.

Évelyne Plicque-Andréani's grandfather, Samuel Alexandre Rousseau (1853-1904), was indeed the winner of the second Premier Grand Prix de Rome for musical composition in 1878 and professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire from 1898 until his death in office in 1904. Marcel Samuel-Rousseau (1882-1955), Samuel Rousseau's son, was also the winner of the second Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1905 and professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire from 1919 until his retirement in 1952.

From February 1951 to April 1954, Éveline Plicque-Andréani was a resident at the Villa Medici in Rome. During her stay, she composed, among other things, melodies, symphonic suites and an oratorio.

In 1969, Éveline Plicque-Andréani participated in the founding of the Music department of the Centre universitaire expérimentale de Vincennes [fr]. She subsequently became an assistant professor and then a professor at the same university, teaching harmony and composition and supervising numerous theses. Unlike most of the winners of the Prix de Rome, she was never a professor at the Paris Conservatoire, but had a brilliant academic career. She was successively director of the UFR Arts, Philosophie, Esthétique from 1986 to 1990, then vice-president of the Université Paris-VIII from 1993 to 1997. She was named a knight in the order of the Légion d'honneur in 1997. She retired in 1998.

Éveline Plicque-Andréani died on October 16, 2018 in Paris. She is buried in the Villenoy cemetery (Seine-et-Marne).
